What this research studies
This program focuses on training the next generation of researchers in person and family-centered health services and outcomes research specifically for older adults. It combines expertise from health services researchers, gerontologic nursing researchers, and geriatricians to enhance the understanding of how health services and care delivery can be optimized for aging populations. Trainees will engage in rigorous coursework and collaborative research to develop skills in public health, epidemiology, and health policy, ultimately aiming to improve care for older adults.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are older adults who may benefit from enhanced health services and care delivery models.
Not a fit: Patients who are not part of the aging population or those with acute, non-chronic conditions may not receive benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved health services and outcomes for older adults, enhancing their quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research in health services and outcomes for aging populations has shown promising results, indicating that this approach is both relevant and necessary.
