relatively new programthat uses transitional-carenurses to identify specifichealth needs of geriatric
patients in emergency rooms iscutting their rates ofhospitalizations and leading tobetter medical outcomes.
About one-third of patientsolder than 65 who visit anemergency room nationwide endup being hospitalized, but thisnew program can cut that rate,according to a study byresearchers from Mount SinaiHealth System in New York City;St. Joseph’s Regional MedicalCenter in Paterson, New Jersey;and Northwestern MemorialHospital in Chicago.
The Geriatric EmergencyDepartment Innovations in Carethrough Workforce, Informaticsand Structural Enhancements, orGEDI WISE, program launched in2012. At the three hospitals thatwere part of the study, a patientwas 10 percent more likely to bedischarged from the hospitalwhen compared to the same typeof patient not seen by such atransitional nurse.
Interventions initiated duringan older patient’s arrival in theemergency room have asignificant impact on care, saidlead investigator Ula Hwang,MD, associate professor ofemergency medicine and ofgeriatrics and palliative medicineat the Icahn School of Medicine
at Mount Sinai. “Specifically trained advanced-
practice nurses target older adultsthrough questions andassessments to see if they can facea safe discharge,” Hwang said.
Specialized triageWhile a patient who has
suffered cardiac arrest is not goingto be sent home, others who mayhave come in for a cough or a fallmay be. In the past, though,many of these individuals were“social admissions,” Hwang said,meaning no safe dischargearrangements could be made forthe patient, so he or she washospitalized.
Transitional-care nurses assesspatients for cognitive function,delirium, agitation, functionalstatus, falls risk and caregiverstrain. A score-based assessmentdetermines the extent of care thatwill be delivered in theemergency department, Hwangsaid.
Nurses ask questions tounderstand the bigger picture ofwhat’s going on in a patient’s life,Hwang said: What medicationsare you taking, and do you haveother underlying medicalconditions? What level of socialsupport do you have at home?Can you care for yourself or doyou need help?
If discharged, patients willreceive follow-up calls, receivecounseling from a social workeror sometimes be transferred to anursing home.
Ahead of a trend?Programs like GEDI WISE are
trending nationwide. In 2013, theAmerican College of EmergencyPhysicians, American GeriatricsSociety and Society for AcademicEmergency Medicine joined withthe Emergency NursesAssociation to develop andpublish the Geriatric EmergencyDepartment Guidelines. In 2017the first ACEP GeriatricEmergency Accreditation becameavailable for such ERs.
“Bottom line, the population isaging. Hospitals and health-caresystems have to focus on thisvulnerable aging population. At atime when the national averagefor emergency departmentadmissions with older adults ison the rise, programs that canreduce hospitalization risk arecrucial,” Hwang said.
Hospitals can be a dangerousplace for older adults, Hwangsaid. Some risks include adversedrug effects, falls, cognitivedecline and ulcers. More than 30percent of older adults develop ahospital-associated disability afteran acute admission, and many donot return to their previousfunctional state.
Nurses are a central part ofmaking programs like this work,Hwang said. “They play aninterdisciplinary role working”with other medical professionalsincluding social workers,pharmacists, doctors, physicaltherapists and home health aides,she said.

hen it comes to apatient’s painmanagement, nursesare leading the way.When zero pain is not
an option, nurses help alleviatediscomfort by understanding andacknowledging pain, beingresponsive and involved in care,and communicating effectively aspatient educators.
Considering herself new in thearea of pain research, JanieceTaylor, RN, assistant professorat the Johns Hopkins UniversitySchool of Nursing, letsfrustration drive her instead ofholding her back.
“Pain really is outside the box,”Taylor said.
For nurses who love caregivingbut struggle with doubt abouthow to treat pain, Taylor says,“Don’t give up.” She hopes herresearch might one day “bemaking it just a little bit easier forthat brand-new nurse” out there.
New solutions for painNurses play a huge role in pain
management. “We advocate for our patients in
so many ways whether throughresearch, at the bedside or as
advanced-practice nurses,” Taylorsaid. “It is essential that we stayup to date on current researchsurrounding pain managementand that we don’t treat chronicpain patients all the same. Wecannot forget how individualizedthe pain experience is and howdifferent strategies workdifferently in our patients.”
A researcher in the area of painmanagement, Taylor’s currentwork “focuses on new andinnovative ways to address painamong community-dwellingolder adults living with varioustypes of pain. I seek to find waysthat can be easily used in thecommunity/home setting that arenot necessarily pharmacologicalin nature but can complementpharmacology or serve as themain pain management tools inthose who are not able to takepain medications,” she said.
Her research is a crucial piece ofaddressing the opioid crisis.
“Pain researchers are workingtirelessly to find alternativeoptions for pain management.Although there is a place foropioids, however, it isimportant to find practicalalternatives to reduce the risk ofnot just addiction but sideeffects,” Taylor said.
Especially exciting are new
developments in managingpain through the use of virtualreality as well as in mentalhealth, Taylor said.
Keep fightingPain can be overwhelming, but
Taylor urges people to never giveup on pain management.Communication betweenproviders and patients is a simpleyet effective component toadequately managing pain, shesaid.
Patients should “advocate forthemselves with their providersand don’t just live with the pain.Express any concerns, questionsor challenges to keepcommunication open withproviders. There are other optionsthat can complimentpharmacological painmanagement,” she said.
For her fellow nurses, Tayloralso encourages tenacity.
“It can seem very difficult butwe must try to identify effectiveand successful treatments that canbe sustained over the long haul,”she said. “Education in painmanagement among nurses is avital component to addressingpain in our aging populationsand those experiencing chronicdisabling pain.”
“It is essentialthat we stay up
to date oncurrent research
surrounding painmanagement and
that we don’ttreat chronic
pain patients allthe same. Wecannot forget
howindividualized
the painexperience is and
how differentstrategies work
differently in ourpatients.”
