ABSTRACT
This article describes outcomes of a new model of care for hospitalized elders and their families. Patient functional and cognitive status on admission and discharge were evaluated for changes as a result of an educational program for preparing family-centered geriatric resource nurses. Patients in the intervention group (n = 173) demonstrated significant improvements in outcome measures (functional and cognitive status) from admission to discharge. A subset (n = 50) was selected from the 173 subjects who comprised the intervention group; this subset was compared with control subjects (n = 44); no statistically significant differences were noted between the 2 groups. Suggestions for future research are presented.
