Health Care Reform Staying at the forefront of change. 

The Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing (HIGN) offers a series of Tip Sheets to help keep the nursing community abreast of the issues relevant to health care reform. These sheets focus on the reform changes that affect geriatric nursing. These changes provide exciting opportunities for nurses to work with other members of the health care team in new ways, to provide important educational opportunities to improve the care we provide to older adults and do so in a fiscally responsible manner.
