The NICHE Tool Kit consists of strategies that, together, help hospitals substantially change the way they deliver nursing care to older adults. The Tool Kit includes the geriatric institutional assessment profile (GIAP) instrument, nursing models, nursing practice protocols, a NICHE LISTSERV, Try This Assessment Instruments, and Gerontological Nursing On-Line Review Course to prepare nurses to gain a credential in Gerontological nursing.

NICHE is a program that works for everybody and can be implemented anywhere. It is driven by a hospital-based assessment of geriatric strengths and weaknesses and is based on models of geriatric nursing care focusing on prevention and management of common geriatric syndromes.
