Program Description
"The How to Try This series (a John A. Hartford Foundation-funded project provided to the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing at New York University's College of Nursing in collaboration with the American Journal of Nursing,) 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, developed to build geriatric assessment skills - the foundation for appropriate care of older adults." -consultgerirn.org
Each "How to Try This" guide is two pages and describes an elderly nursing care topic including an assessment tool. The series is accessible to geriatric nursing care staff online and also in hard copy.

The "How to Try This" Program aims to allow elder nursing care professionals to easily access, understand and implement techniques for assessing and screening in elder care and be in a better position to be able to take care of a senior's health care situation.
