title: Integration and collaboration: the advanced practice nursing role in gerontologic rehabilitation.
abstract: The Penn Nursing Network, the Academic Practices of the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, seeks to create practice settings that provide cost-effective, high-quality care and an environment for the development and testing of new models of nursing services. The Collaborative Assessment and Rehabilitation for Elders (CARE) Program is one such practice. As a Comprehensive Outpatient Rehabilitation Facility (CORF), the CARE Program offers opportunities for a nurse-managed model of care and four distinct advanced practice roles.
