Abstract

The implementation of the Consensus Model for Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Regulation has defined the model for advanced practice within the four recognized advanced practice nursing roles. The focus of graduate nursing program focus for care of the adult population has been broadened to include gerontology. The change toward increasing graduate program breadth and focus to a lifespan adult/gerontology population will result in the need for analysis and restructuring of advanced practice programs in order to incorporate gerontologic content. The purpose of this article is to describe a process for developing or revitalizing meaningful learning outcomes as an integral component in program revision and evaluation for advanced practice programs incorporating gerontologic content. Learning outcomes will be included with examples and definitions from the beginning basis of role-specific selected adult gerontology competencies through data collection and analysis for program improvement.
