Starting a nurse-managed center for older adults: the needs assessment process
Geriatric Nursing (New York, N.Y.)
|January 1, 1996
Abstract:
Nursing centers can be a vital part of the plan to meet the health needs of the coming "age wave." Nurses, who provide both the care for chronic illness and the means for preventing the onset of chronic disability, are in key positions to influence the evolving health care system to create new systems of community-based care. The time for NMCs is, perhaps, now or never. Conducting a thorough needs assessment is the first important step.
