Scopes and Standards

The Hartford Institute of Geriatric Nursing has developed guidelines to assist professional nursing associations to address issues of care of older adults.

Professional Nursing Associations
Creating &/or Revising Professional Scope and Standards
Guidelines for Addressing Issues Related to Care of Older Adults

The guidelines propose approaches and/or language related to care of older adults and their families/caregivers for professional nursing associations to consider in creating and/or revising Scopes and Standards. The Hartford Institute proposes geriatric resources for Associations to use when revising their Scopes and Standards and offers Expert Consultation to professional associations to:

 

1. Identify sources for statistics and best practices related to care of older adults for each specialty

2. Customize the Guidelines to fit an association’s Scopes and Standards

3. Review drafts of Scopes and Standards in relationship to care of older adults

Inquiries for Expert Consultation should be addressed to Jessica Esterson, The Hartford Institute (Jessica.esterson@nyu.edu; 212-998-9001)
