GT-OSVE: Geriatric Transitions Objective Structured Video Examination
The Geriatric Transitions Objective Structured Video Examination (GT-OSVE) is a series of 3 video cases depicting the same hypothetical patient undergoing transitions of care in different locations: hospital to home, skilled nursing facility to home, and home to an assisted living facility.

Alternatively, the GT-OSVE may be used as an educational tool for teaching about transitions of care.
