Abstract
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.
