Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders (NICHE)

The major healthcare challenge addressed by Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders (NICHE), a program of NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing, has been the need for evidence-based knowledge in the nursing care of older adults. NICHE has successfully developed this knowledge by pioneering the development of geriatric nursing clinical protocols and most importantly has developed a sustainable model for knowledge transfer across multiple healthcare delivery systems with nursing staff at all levels of practice encompassing nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, and advanced practice nurses.
