Given the large population of acutely ill geriatric
patients spending timein the hospital and the largeamount of hospital resources that these patients
use, it is of great importance that acute geriatric
care becomes a focus of nursing research and
education. ACE, HELP, and NICHE are 3 welldeveloped
models of acute care for older hospitalized
patients. There has been initial research on all
3 programs that suggest that they may be effective
at improving patient outcomes. Further research is
needed to elaborate on the benefits of each programfor
patients, health care providers, and hospitals.
It is imperative that the nursing profession
focus research on the ACE, HELP, and NICHE
models. Geriatric patient outcomes reflect deeply
on the nursing care that is provided to older patients.
If nursing is to continue to improve care of
geriatric patients, models must be used to guide
care. These models require strong evidence that
supports their efficacy.
