It is important to note that the models of care that have been created do not all focus on the same aspects of care. Some models have been developed to guide care solely in the in-patient hospital setting. Examples of these in-patient models
include the Acute Care for Elders (ACE) program, Hospitalized Elder Life Program (HELP), and Nurses Improving Care for Health-System Elders (NICHE). Othermodels guide care across settings, such as transitional care models. Examples of transitional care models include the Transitional Care Model led by Mary D. Naylor, PhD, RN, and the Care Transitions Model led by Dr. Eric Coleman and supported by the John A. Hartford Foundation
