TigerPlace Institute

At TigerPlace, we are committed to improving the lives of older adults in Columbia, Missouri, and across the world. We believe in a Registered Nurse (RN)/Social Work (SW) Care Coordination model that uses technology to promote early illness recognition and fall detection. Our model facilitates the use of nursing services and resources to assist older adults in maintaining their independence and be as active as possible, through the end of their life. Sharing our innovative model of RN care coordination will help other organizations benefit from what we have learned and help them implement similar systems of health care and personal services.

Results of our innovations include:

  • Improved health outcomes, mobility and independence, and involvement in life and community activities
  • Early illness recognition so problems are detected early when problems are small and most easily treated
  • Our TigerPlace Care Coordination model adds nearly another year to the length of stay (2.6 years) as compared to the national median of 1.8 years in residential senior housing
  • Adding the environmentally embedded sensor technology developed by researchers at the University of Missouri at TigerPlace increases the average length of stay an additional 1.7 years (4.3 years total)
  • High resident and family satisfaction with living at TigerPlace
We have created the TigerPlace AIP Institute to share our innovations and facilitate the many requests we have for tours, education, and information on replicating this specific model. Although different environments and organizations will contribute to variances in programming, we believe that the core principles of our care model can be successfully applied across the continuum of care. Those interested in learning about the TigerPlace AIP model of care coordination receive the most benefit from visiting our community in person. Reviewing manuscripts included in the reference section prior to visiting TigerPlace will supplement and enhance the AIP Institute experience.

Intended audience:

Facility owners, administrators, healthcare providers, including care coordinators interested in innovative ways to improve effectiveness in the effectiveness of programs offered by their organizations. Researchers are likely to find this content beneficial as well.

Focus:

An overview of care coordination processes and methods that participants may wish to consider adopting and/or using to modify their organization’s care coordination model.
Emphasis will be placed on the ways in which the embedded sensor technology, initially developed at TigerPlace and offered by Foresite Healthcare commercially, can support proactive intervention in a preventative, person-centered model.

We will take an in-depth look at actual case studies that demonstrate the power of early intervention as a means of preventing avoidable deterioration in health status or adverse events, with particular attention paid to the use of this technology-aided model to manage residents whose safety may be enhanced and cognitive decline slowed by appropriate interventions.

You will receive:
  • Tour of TigerPlace and the Neighborhoods
  • Overview of the history of TigerPlace
  • In-depth look at TigerPlace Aging in Place model and Care Coordination framework
  • Overview of legislative process that made TigerPlace possible (including strategies for successful lobbying)
  • Detailed explanation of technology from the engineering perspective (includes how the algorithms detect and predict health changes)
  • Case studies demonstrating how Foresite technology used at TigerPlace assists in preventing admissions, readmissions, and lost residents.
  • Snack and beverage (lunch is included)

For those of you who are interested in replicating the TigerPlace Aging in Place model, we offer the following for purchase:

  1. Full Aging in Place policy and procedure manual, staffing model, example contracts, and legislative wording/changes $5,000.
  2. Full Care Coordination model, decision trees, consulting for implementation, and all long-term care exceptions (with exact wording) $5,000.

Foresite has commercialized the sensor technology we use at TigerPlace for early alerts. Costs of adding the technology to your facility would be negotiated with this team.
