Abstract
Systems Addressing Frail Elders (SAFE) Care is an interprofessional team-based program, which was developed and evaluated in a cluster randomized controlled trial. Results of this trial included reduced length of stay and complications for patients. This article describes a successful partnership across 4 Magnet hospitals in the dissemination of the model. A 2-year sequential implementation process was completed, with an approach of adoption, adaptation, and abandonment. The model was successfully implemented at each participating Magnet hospital. Implementation included capacity building, organizational change, and process implementation.
