A family assessment tool for hospitalized elders.

This article describes the development of the FAMILY card, a family assessment instrument used in the Nursing Care Quality Initiative (NCQI) to assess the involvement and needs of family members of hospitalized elders. Through the NCQI project, particular attention has been paid to integrating both clinical expertise in geriatric nursing care and the principles of family-centered care into the nursing care provided by staff on the NCQI study units. Two case studies illustrating use of the SPICES geriatric assessment instrument and the newly developed FAMILY assessment card are included as exemplars.

Hospitalized elders: changes in functional and mental status.

This article describes outcomes of a new model of care for hospitalized elders and their families. Patient functional and cognitive status on admission and discharge were evaluated for changes as a result of an educational program for preparing family-centered geriatric resource nurses. Patients in the intervention group (n = 173) demonstrated significant improvements in outcome measures (functional and cognitive status) from admission to discharge. A subset (n = 50) was selected from the 173 subjects who comprised the intervention group; this subset was compared with control subjects (n = 44); no statistically significant differences were noted between the 2 groups. Suggestions for future research are presented.
