title = "Geriatric Interdisciplinary Team Training 2.0: A collaborative team-based approach to delivering care",
abstract = "Interprofessional collaborative education and practice has become a cornerstone of optimal person-centered management in the current complex health care climate. This is especially important when working with older adults, many with multiple chronic conditions and challenging health care needs. This paper describes a feasibility study of the Geriatric Interdisciplinary Team Training 2.0 (GITT 2.0) program focused on providing interprofessional care to complex and frail older adults with multiple chronic conditions. A concurrent triangulation mixed-methods design facilitated program implementation and evaluation. Over three years (2013-2016), 65 graduate students from nursing, midwifery, social work, and pharmacy participated along with 25 preceptors. Participants were surveyed on their attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration pre and post-intervention and participated in focus groups. While attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration did not change quantitatively, focus groups revealed changes in language and enhanced perspectives of participants. Based on the evaluation data, the GITT 2.0 Toolkit was refined for use in interprofessional education and practice activities related to quality initiatives.",

Funding Information: The national GITT Program, with its Resource Center based in the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing (HIGN) at New York University (NYU) Rory Meyers College of Nursing (NYU Meyers), was funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation in the 1990s. A coalition of eight schools{\textquoteright} professional programs developed resources to integrate interprofessional training into their curricula. GITT 2.0 builds on this work by providing new resources to help academic and healthcare organizations implement interprofessional education and practice. With funding from a United States (U.S.) Health Resources and Services Administration, Nursing Education, Practice, Quality and Retention grant, HIGN at NYU Meyers developed the GITT 2.0 model.
