Her research is focused on the design, implementation, and evaluation of nurse care coordination and transitional care practices in a variety of aging-in-place settings that have national and international implications for the care of older people. In addition to aging-in-place, Dr. Popejoy’s work in nursing homes has been ongoing for over twenty years and has centered on improving the nursing home’s capacity to manage increasingly complex resident care issues and improve outcomes.
