The aging population growth, shortened hospital stays, reduction in home care services reimbursement, and the looming nursing shortage will all drastically increase community health care needs and caregiving challenges. Unique and traditional methods of care delivery provided via innovative interventions can be used to address these needs. Many research-based nursing interventions can be administered at a distance (e.g., video, telehealth, and even robotic "nurses") or without the nurse being present through volunteers or delegation, thus increasing communitybased care. A model categorizing and guiding use of these nursing interventions is described herein.

Key Words: care delivery • caregiving • geragogy • home care • telehealth
