March 13 — Professor hosts international geriatric nursing and technology workshop
Shelly Fritz, a professor at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis, hosted the Building Global Gero Center for Nursing Science: Community Event and Workshop. The two-day event brought together more than 50 leaders in gerontology nursing and technology research from around the world. They arrived at the consensus that there’s a need for a nurse-led geron-technology innovation space to optimize clinical translation and improve implementation and meaningful use. Shelly says members value older adults, health and innovation, along with fostering and sharing knowledge and skills and cross-country connections. She reports that next steps include writing paper about the idea of a center, this workshop and the process of developing the center, as well as symposiums at upcoming conferences. The event was sponsored by a grant from UC Davis Global Affairs and the Healthy Aging in a Digital World initiative.
