Executive Summary
The entire project is based on the implementation of a delirium screening tool in ABC Hospital.
In this hospital, the doctors often fail to detect delirium among patients due to lack of sufficient
technical support and hence, this screening tool will help them in the process. The tool will also
help them monitor the condition of the patients and provide quick medication. As per the
analysis, the project will cost around $650,000 and will take place for around 5 months for
completion. The operations manager of ABC Hospital has requested for this project after an
analysis stated that many delirium affected patients have serious nervous breakdown in the
hospital due to late detection and medication for the condition. This has also reduced the
reputation of the hospital and hence, the manager wants to improve the technical setup for
better medical environment inside the hospital.

1. Overview
1.1. Project Title
Development of an Implementation Plan for Delirium Screening Tool in the Intensive
Care Unit (ICU) of ABC Hospital
1.2. Project Background
Delirium is a medical condition in which, a patient’s mental condition decays causing
a state of confusion. In this condition, the patient fails to respond to external stimuli
correctly and shows abnormal behaviour. Delirium can be caused by a large number
of factors including alcohol consumption, untreated and underlying diseases and
others. Delirium can cause serious impacts on the health of a patient and hence,
should be treated with utmost care. However, detection of delirium is not an easy
task and it requires screening using certain medical tools. ABC Hospital do not have
such screening tools and hence, treatment of delirium patients in the ICU ward of the
hospital takes time. The operations manager of the hospital has decided to execute a
project through which a delirium screening tool along with sufficient technical setup
will be installed and implemented in the ICU ward of the hospital. This will make the
treatments of delirium patients easier and detection of the condition will also be
faster.
2. Scope
The scope of this project includes the installation and implementation of a delirium
screening tool in the intensive care unit of the ABC Hospital. The delirium screening
tool will help to identify whether a patient is delirium affected or not. The scope also
includes allocation of sufficient budget, deployment of implementation team and
testing of the new screening tool.
2.1. Aim
The aim of the project is to purchase, install, test and implement a delirium screening
tool for the intensive care unit of ABC Hospital within a given timeframe.
2.2. Objective(s)
The main objectives of the project are as follows.
1. To install and deploy a delirium screening tool in the intensive care unit of ABC
Hospital
2. To train the doctors and nurses for using the tool for faster and accurate
identification of delirium in the patients
<Project Title>: Project Business Case – Version 0.A Page 6 of 25

Appendices
3. To complete the project within a specified timeline
2.3. Outcome(s)/Benefits
The main outcome of the project is a working delirium screening tool that can be
efficiently used by doctors and nurses for identification of delirium in patients.
The main benefit of the project is that with the help of the tool, delirium of the
patients can be identified faster and treated with urgent response.
2.4. Output(s) / Deliverables
The outputs of the project are as follows.
New delirium screening system
Well trained nurses for assisting in treatment of delirium
Faster treatment for delirium affected patients
2.5. Assumptions and Constraints
Assumptions
 The main assumptions for the project are as follows.
 It has been assumed that the project can be executed within the allocated
budget.
 It has been assumed that the nurses and doctors will be able to handle the
screening tool efficiently.
 It has been assumed that the new screening tool will decrease the response
time to delirium affected patients.
Constraints
The constraints of the project are as follows.
 The delirium screening tool is expensive and may require additional budget
for the purchase and implementation.
 The tool is quite new and hence, the doctors and nurses may need a long
period of time to get used to the use of the tool efficiently.

project. At the end of each day, the technical expert will add the progress to the
project log that will be kept for record keeping of the project.
8. Project Closure & Outcome Realisation
The targeted outcomes will be entered into a checklist and at the end of the project,
all the stakeholders including the project manager will check on each outcome as
they are completed and meeting quality standards. If an outcome is not checked, the
process is to be repeated again to ensure necessary quality is achieved.
After the project is over, a training session will be conducted by the technical expert
regarding the use of the delirium screening tool. The doctors and nurses will need to
take part in the session and learn the effective use of the tool for the treatment of
delirium patients.
A review process will be held by the project manager to note down the lessons learnt
by the stakeholders and appraise their performances accordingly.
