Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystems Elders (NICHE), one of the original geriatric care models, enhances the overall quality and safety of nursing care provided to older adults in hospital and post-acute care settings. NICHE is a relatively low-cost, high-impact investment in the nursing workforce to improve performance on the nurse-sensitive quality indicators including falls, pressure injuries, medication safety, urinary incontinence, restraint reduction, delirium identification and management, reducing preventable readmissions, among others. NICHE also serves as a foundation to enhance nursing care to achieve national accreditation standards for a number of geriatric and nursing quality programs.
护士改善医疗保健系统老年人护理（NICHE）是最初的老年护理模式之一，可提高医院和康复护理环境中为老年人提供的护理服务的整体质量和安全性。NICHE 是对护理人员队伍的相对低成本、高影响力的投资，可以提高与护士敏感的质量指标相关的绩效，包括跌倒、压疮、用药安全、尿失禁、约束减少、谵妄的识别和管理、减少可预防的再入院等。NICHE 还为加强护理服务提供了基础，以达到多个老年病学和护理质量项目的国家认证标准。
