This article describes the creation of Senior Care, a practice of the University of Missouri Sinclair School of Nursing (MUSSON). Senior Care is a home care agency that specializes in care of frail older adults. Grant funds assisted Senior Care in start up, and the program generated more than 1.25 million dollars in service revenue during the past fiscal year. More than 300 students, from nursing and other schools across the university, have used Senior Care as a clinical or service-learning site, and it is currently the site of several studies, totaling more than 3 million dollars in funding. Senior Care is the service component of the MUSSON Aging in Place initiative. The next phase is the completion of Tiger Place, a living community for older adults, built in affiliation with Americare Systems. Senior Care and the Aging in Place initiative provide an excellent example of how nurses can be leaders in health system change.
本文介绍了密苏里大学辛克莱护理学院（MUSSON）的一项业务——高级护理服务。高级护理服务是一家专门为体弱老年人提供护理的家庭护理机构。拨款资金助力高级护理服务启动，该项目在上一财年创造了超过125万美元的服务收入。来自全校护理专业及其他专业的300多名学生将高级护理服务作为临床实习或服务学习场所，目前它也是多项研究的开展地点，研究资金总计超过300万美元。高级护理服务是MUSSON就地养老倡议的服务组成部分。下一阶段是完成与美国医疗系统合作建设的老年生活社区——虎园。高级护理服务和就地养老倡议为护士如何成为卫生系统变革的领导者提供了一个绝佳范例。
