### Postoperative Delirium Prevention Study Enrollment & Consent

Postoperative delirium affects up to 50% of older adults undergoing surgery and is associated with longer hospital stays, increased complications, and cognitive decline. Research into prevention strategies is critical for improving surgical outcomes and quality of life for patients.

This **postoperative delirium prevention study enrollment form** streamlines the entire participant recruitment process—from initial eligibility screening and informed consent through randomization assignment and preference collection. Built with Paperform, this template helps research teams efficiently manage study enrollment while maintaining rigorous ethical and regulatory standards.

#### Why healthcare researchers choose Paperform for clinical study enrollment

Medical research teams face unique challenges when enrolling study participants: ensuring informed consent, collecting detailed health histories, coordinating with families, and maintaining compliance with institutional review board (IRB) requirements. Traditional paper forms create data entry bottlenecks and increase the risk of missing critical information.

Paperform transforms this process by creating a **professional, accessible digital enrollment experience** that can be completed on any device. Conditional logic ensures participants only see relevant questions based on their responses, while automatic data capture eliminates transcription errors and speeds up the path from enrollment to study participation.

#### Key features for postoperative delirium research studies

This template includes everything research coordinators need for comprehensive study enrollment:

**Informed consent documentation** — Clear explanation of study purpose, procedures, risks, benefits, and participant rights with formal consent acknowledgment that meets IRB standards.

**Eligibility screening** — Automated screening questions to ensure participants meet inclusion criteria before proceeding with full enrollment, saving time for both participants and research staff.

**Preoperative cognitive testing authorization** — Specific consent for baseline cognitive assessments, including explanation of testing procedures and how results will be used in the study.

**Anesthesia protocol randomization** — Transparent explanation of randomization process and collection of participant understanding and agreement to be assigned to different anesthesia protocols.

**Family presence preferences** — Detailed collection of preferences regarding family involvement during recovery, visiting hours, and communication protocols to support delirium prevention strategies.

**Medical history & risk factors** — Comprehensive collection of relevant health information, medications, previous surgeries, and known delirium risk factors.

**Emergency contact & physician information** — Essential contact details for communication and coordination throughout the study period.

#### Perfect for healthcare research teams across specialties

While designed specifically for postoperative delirium prevention studies, this template is easily adaptable for:

 - Anesthesiology research departments studying surgical outcomes
 - Geriatric medicine programs focused on older adult care
 - Hospital quality improvement initiatives
 - Academic medical centers conducting clinical trials
 - Perioperative care research teams
 - Cognitive health and aging research programs

#### Streamline enrollment with conditional logic and automation

Paperform's conditional logic means participants experience a streamlined enrollment process. If someone indicates they don't meet eligibility criteria, they're directed to an appropriate conclusion without completing unnecessary sections. If they consent to participate, relevant forms for cognitive testing authorization and preference collection appear automatically.

The platform's calculation and scoring features can even help with preliminary risk stratification, flagging higher-risk participants who might benefit from enhanced monitoring protocols.

#### Integrate with your research workflow using Stepper

Research enrollment is just the beginning. Once someone submits their enrollment form, **Stepper** (stepper.io) can automatically trigger your study coordination workflow:

 - Send confirmation emails to participants with study details and next steps
 - Notify the research coordinator to schedule preoperative cognitive testing
 - Add participant information to your research database or CRM
 - Create calendar events for follow-up assessments
 - Randomize participants to treatment groups and notify the anesthesia team
 - Update consent tracking spreadsheets for IRB compliance
 - Send reminders about upcoming procedures or assessments

This automation ensures no participant falls through the cracks and reduces administrative burden on research coordinators who can focus on participant care rather than data entry.

#### Built for research teams who value compliance and efficiency

Healthcare research demands both rigorous data collection and participant-friendly experiences. This template balances those needs with:

 - **Professional, trustworthy design** that reflects the seriousness of medical research
 - **Clear, accessible language** that helps participants make informed decisions
 - **Mobile-responsive format** so participants can enroll from hospital tablets, home computers, or smartphones
 - **Automatic data capture** that creates an audit trail for IRB compliance
 - **Secure data handling** with SOC 2 Type II compliance to protect participant information

Research coordinators at hospitals, universities, and medical centers trust Paperform to handle sensitive study enrollment while maintaining the flexibility to adapt forms as protocols evolve.

#### Get your research study enrollment up and running in minutes

Stop wasting time on paper forms, manual data entry, and enrollment coordination headaches. This postoperative delirium prevention study template gives you a professional, IRB-ready enrollment solution that works from day one.

Whether you're launching a new clinical trial, expanding an existing research program, or improving your enrollment process, Paperform provides the flexibility and reliability that healthcare research teams need. Customize questions to match your specific protocol, add your institution's branding, and start enrolling participants immediately.

**Note:** While Paperform offers robust security and compliance features, it is not a HIPAA-compliant solution. Research teams handling protected health information should consult with their IRB and compliance officers to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for their specific research protocol.
