Strategy No. 1: Increasing Individual Nurse Competence
in Care of Older Adults
Increasing individual nurse competence in the care of older
adults begins with the education of all nurses. Therefore, the primary educational focus for the Hartford Institute
for Geriatric Nursing has been to infuse geriatrics into baccalaureate
nursing programs. But because many practicing nurses attended nursing
school at a time when geriatric content was not part of the required
curriculum, the Hartford Institute also provides resources for nurses
working at the bedside.
To help nurses incorporate the latest research into the care they provide to older adults, the Try
This series provides both printed and electronic
information about evidence-based assessment tools and practices.
To ensure that all nurses are equipped with the most effective
evidence-based practices, the Hartford Institute is also committed to
the development of the science of nursing. Toward this end, the
Hartford Institute works to increase nurses' competence in
gerontological research in order to generate new knowledge with
which to improve bedside care of patients.
