Delirium in older critically ill adults; health disparities
Research Description
My clinical background is critical care nursing, having worked in both staff and Clinical Nurse Specialist positions for 25 years. I have done research in treatment-seeking delay in older adults at risk for Acute Coronary Syndromes and health-seeking behaviors of low-income older adults. I am currently beginning a program of research focused on the problem of delirium in ICU patients, especially older adults.
