The #Function_QUERI team assessed whether a team collaboration strategy (#CONNECT) improves #implementation outcomes of a family #caregiver skills training. They found one key condition of implementation success was leadership support. tinyurl.com/4v7mb5zk #QUERI

Almost 75% of older adults with disability have a #familycaregiver. Health payment models are increasingly considering caregiver burden & quality of life. Measures like #hometime are needed to track these phenomena, & the #ASPIRE team did just that ⬇️Courtney Van Houtven (she/her)

Congratulations Cynthia! I can’t think of a more deserving recipient of a Special Recognition Award in #HSR. Cynthia is a brilliant statistician and fantastic colleague Duke University School of Medicine VA HSR

New collaboration with Adrian Haimovich, MD PhD et al in AEM Journal assessing older adult ED discharge instruction comprehension. 💡Medication and return precaution instructions were less likely understood than diagnosis, self-care, or follow-up instructions. doi.org/10.1111/acem.1…

💰Our team's new work in JAGS 1 in 3 older adults visit the ED in their last month of life, with markedly higher total costs and minimally higher OOP costs than those who do not visit the ED. bit.ly/3XAk3Ii

Excited to represent Durham VA Center of Innovation & #Function_QUERI to share primary outcome results of Courtney Van Houtven (she/her) ‘s 8 site trial which is now scaled nationally as #CaregiversFIRST

Love it when our investigators get to share evidence w/ top policymakers! Durham VA Center of Innovation's Karen Goldstein presented the results of the Women Veterans’ Health Literature evidence mapping project (2016–2023) to the White House Gender Policy Council. hsrd.research.va.gov/news/research_…

After a grounding moment with Allison J. Applebaum, PhD, FAPOS's, Courtney Van Houtven (she/her) pushes us again: We should all estimate value of caregiver time and caregiver interventions in #research. Some ways include: caregiving hours, proxy costs, opportunity costs. #BBPgh24

Just found out that I was nominated for the Human Rights award by a family caregiver that has engaged in my research program & dementia friendly worship services. U just never know the impact of ur research & service. It’s so much more than the p value. This awards means so much.

Thinking of everyone in Western North Carolina & all the other communities impacted by the hurricane + flooding. 💙 WRAL story on how to help those affected: wral.com/story/how-to-h…
