How to Try This:
Resources on Geriatric Assessment

In order to provide resources that will help to fill the gap between knowledge and practice in the care of older adults, the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing and the American Journal of Nursing have partnered on the How to Try This project.

How to Try This translates the evidence-based geriatric assessment tools in the Try This assessment series into cost-free, web-based resources including demonstration videos and a corresponding print series featured in the AJN.
