Abstract
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. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 50(3), 13-17.].
