I am a nurse-health services researcher and committed to improving care delivered to vulnerable older adults at risk for functional decline and/or hospital readmission following discharge from post-acute care (PAC) settings. My program of research focuses on two interrelated areas: (1) understanding the determinants of patient-level health outcomes in chronically ill older adults, with a particular emphasis on functional status and hospitalization among those with hip fracture; and (2) using quality measures to promote facility-level improvements in care delivered within PAC settings to achieve better health outcomes. In my recently completed Duke CTSA KL2 training award, I used clinical and administrative datasets (Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility-Patient Assessment Instrument [IRF-PAI] and Medicare claims) to study the clusters of multiple (>2) chronic conditions associated with 30-day hospital readmission among hip fracture patients following discharge from inpatient rehabilitation facilities. I am a senior research scientist at the Duke Center for the study of Aging and Human Development and part of the core faculty for the Duke Center for Biobehavioral Health Disparities. As a nurse with more than twelve years of clinical practice experience, I have provided evidence-based care, intervened to prevent complications, and maintained safety for patients as they transitioned across clinical settings thought out the healthcare continuum.
