Nurse-Led Models of Care: Practice and Policy to Support Aging in Place
Purpose:
Research demonstrates that aging in place is the goal of most adults aged >50 years. Unfortunately, multiple barriers to aging in place continue to exist, especially for vulnerable populations. Achieving this goal will require innovative nurse-led models of care and new policies for RN reimbursement. The current article describes a nurse-led clinic implemented in one community.
Method:
Using an evidence-based nurse-led model of care, a team of university faculty, students, and a family nurse practitioner designed and implemented a nurse-led clinic for a religious community in the Pacific Northwest.
Results:
Today, the nurse-led clinic offers care coordination and primary care to support aging in place and is one example of a nurse-led model well-positioned to address the aging in place needs of vulnerable populations.
Conclusion:
Replication and sustainability of this nurse-led model requires sweeping policy change, including consideration of requiring all nurses to attain a National Provider Identification number to expand RN reimbursement and ultimately increase access to care.
