Finding her NICHE is the Class of 2011’s Frances Stokes, DNP, a nurse practitioner intensivist at Renown Regional Medical Center, Reno, Nevada. She is the coordinator there of the Nurses Improving Care to Healthsystem Elders (NICHE) program, awarded by The Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing at New York University College of Nursing. Developed in 1992, NICHE is the only national designation for elder-care excellence – and hers is one of only 350 medical facilities in the nation to bear the NICHE designation. “The unique thing about NICHE is it is a nursing initiative, but Renown Health has developed a plan to immerse all staff in sensitivity training regarding the older adult,” Stokes says. She recently presented on “How NICHE Makes the Elder Patient Experience Excellent” at Renown Health’s annual Touching Lives Through Nursing Excellence conference. Renown Health serves a 17-county region with a total population of more than 750,000. |
