She served on the advisory panel for patient engagement at the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and was the principal investigator of a PCORI Engagement Award about how patient-family advisory councils engage in research. Her research interests include: pragmatic trials in real-world settings, engaging residents of long-term care communities as evaluators of care quality, developing culturally congruent person-centered care approaches in healthcare systems, and organizational cultural change. She completed her post-doctorate at Brown University in health services research.Vincent Mor, PhD, is a Professor of Health Services, Policy & Practice and Florence Pirce Grant Professor in the Brown University School of Public Health and has been principal investigator of 40+ NIH-funded grants focusing on use of health services and outcomes of frail and chronically ill people. He has evaluated the impact of programs and policies including Medicare funding of hospice, changes in Medicare nursing home payment, and the introduction of nursing home quality measures.
