Abstract
The Perioperative Brain Health Initiative (PBHI) is a patient safety initiative by the American Society of Anesthesiologists to address the growing concern of perioperative neurocognitive disorder in older adults. With the goal of improving the implementation of strategies by anesthesia departments to reduce perioperative neurocognitive disorders, the PBHI took several actions including raising public awareness, publishing best practice recommendations guidelines, and advertising success stories of anesthesia departments implementing these strategies. The PBHI will continue to advocate for more resources and to support quality improvement projects on perioperative neurocognitive impairment.
