Research Opportunity: Telehealth Use in Nursing Home on Behalf of Patients with Cognitive Impairment 

Researchers at Vanderbilt University are conducting a study to learn how telehealth is being used in nursing homes for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.  

The investigators are interested in talking with medical directors, nursing directors, administrators, and other staff about their experience of telehealth, whether it is useful or not useful, and what makes it easier or harder to use telehealth. The researchers are especially interested in hearing from people working in rural nursing homes. 

The study would involve a single interview lasting no more than 45 minutes, and the interview can be conducted in person, by telephone, or by teleconference. The research team will provide a $100 gift certificate to thank you for the SNF provider representative’s time.  

If you would be interested in being interviewed or would like to find out more about the study, please contact Dr. Jessica Ancker at 646-248-9281 or jessica.s.ancker@vumc.org .
