000003090 520__ $$aIn 2014, older adults accounted for about 15% of the total United States population, and this total is projected to increase to 21% by the year 2030.  As this population continues to grow, there is a rising prevalence of older patients within the United States’ healthcare system. The increase in amount of older adult patients in the ICU and their severity of illness has necessitated that providers be knowledgeable about the complex physiologic changes of aging when combined with critical illness or injury.  The purpose of this project was to create a checklist that could be used in the ICU to give  providers evidence-based, age-appropriate suggestions to help guide the care of the critically ill older adult. The checklist was then tested in one ICU to determine if providers found it to be  useful and if it could help them give better care to this specific population.
