The
funding for the GITT Resource Center at NYU was renewed
by The John A. Hartford Foundation, Inc in the Spring
of 2002. Its purpose was to assist those wishing to adopt
GITT, and included a round for a small grants program.
The Resource Center administered 3 small grants of $15,000
each, 12 months in length, to enable academic sites to
build GITT into their curricula. In addition to the financial
award, the Resource Center was available for additional
support including on-site consultations and assistance
to help evaluate their progress and achieve their stated
goals. The 3 sites chosen after peer evaluation of 11
applications were Duke University, University
of Oklahoma and SUNY
Stony Brook.

MOUNT SINAI
The overall goal of the Mount Sinai GITT Program is to
train medical residents, advanced practice (AP) nursing
students, and candidates for the masters degree in social
work (MSW) to work on an interdisciplinary geriatrics
team. We seek to ensure that GITT trainees have a shared
knowledge base, attitudes, and skills relative to teamwork
and care of older people. Further, we aim to teach how
an interdisciplinary health care team organizes itself
to deliver quality care in a managed care setting.

RUSH PRESBYTERIAN-ST. LUKES
Developed by faculty at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's
Medical Center in Chicago, this is designed to address
the challenges and obstacles of managing the care of
elderly and chronically ill patients with complex needs.
This new approach is designed to develop effective team
building and ongoing collaboration among health care
providers who do not work together in practice in the
same locations or even organizations. It replaces the
logistical obstacles of having clinicians meet in person
to discuss patient cases with a system of communicating
and meeting "virtually" using an appropriate
variety of readily available technologies.
