Catholic Health World Article: Collaborative Pairs Nursing Homes, Nursing Schools in Mission to Improve Eldercare
The Catholic Health World has published an article about the Pennsylvania Teaching Nursing Home Collaborative's (PATNHC) role in pairing nursing homes with nursing schools to boost eldercare and address staffing shortages.
Authored by Lisa Eisenhauer, the article offers the example of Saint Vincent College and St. Anne Home. PATNHC offers resources and guidance on age-friendly care and provides nursing students with hands-on experience in nursing homes.
The article describes how the initiative updates a successful 1980s model, and describes how it integrates the "Age-Friendly Health Systems" 4Ms framework. PATNHC funders include JAHF and the Jewish Healthcare Foundation.
