Purpose:
To describe how a nursing geriatrics workgroup in an academic age-friendly health system (AFHS) designed, developed, and piloted an age-friendly dashboard (AFD) that featured select patient experience scores and nursing-sensitive indicators (NSIs) that disproportionally impact hospitalized older adults.
Method:
A nurse-led interdisciplinary team developed an interactive dashboard that aggregated existing age-friendly data and allowed for stratifying by age, campus, unit, and NSIs. Pilot users included frontline unit leaders, Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystems Elders program coordinators, gerontological nurse practitioners, and nurse educators.
Results:
Optimization feedback was shared by pilot users. One campus used the AFD to inform and guide a quality improvement project that yielded a 51% reduction in the falls rate of adults aged ≥65 years.
Conclusion:
The AFD is a practical example of leveraging NSIs and patient experience data to support age-friendly care by making data accessible to frontline leaders, nurses, and clinicians in an AFHS.

Nursing Implementation
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
Nursing Clinical Information System
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Documentation in Long-Term and Home Healthcare Setting
Long-Term Care Facilities
Nursing Evaluation
Guidelines and Strategies for Safe Computer Charting
Maintain Confidentiality and Security:
Methods of Documentation IV: Focus Charting
It typically involves three columns for recording information:
