Geriatric Resource Committee

The Geriatric Resource Committee (GRC) is a hospital-wide, multi-disciplinary, nursing-led forum focused on the care of older adult care. Key leaders and participants are Geriatric Resource Nurses (GRNs) who have completed a comprehensive module series on the health span of older adults. GRNs support important initiatives aimed at the care of older adults including the hospital’s Geriatric Surgery Verification and Age-Friendly care, the new CMS measure. In 2024, the GRC focused on supporting bedside nurses in delirium assessment accuracy. The GRNs led a delirium awareness roving fair and supported the Confusion Assessment Method Tournament. These initiatives engaged over 200 health care providers.

Another significant accomplishment was the expansion of GRN-led delirium rounds, which involve identifying high-risk patients, conducting bedside assessments and chart reviews, and collaborating with primary nurses and physicians to provide recommendations. All with an aim to prevent delirium. Positive outcomes have included reduced patient tethering, improved sleep-wake cycles, and increased mobility. Committee participation has also contributed to nurses achieving ladder promotion and board certification. Congratulations, Jocelyn Manalo and Shiobee Paningbatan! The GRC is facilitated by Colette Jappy, RN Geriatric Clinical Nurse Specialist.
