title: Shaping elder care in the acute setting.
abstract: Caring for the elderly in the 1990s poses a challenge necessitating exploration of a number of variables which affect the patient, the family and the setting in which care is provided. Hence, nursing leadership is compelled to shape the processes of elder care. The authors share strategies, insights and approaches to address this growing mandate.
