Naylor and her interdisciplinary research team looking into ways to improve outcomes and reduce the costs of care for elders living in the community. Dr. Naylor and several collaborations have developed a transitional care model that employs advanced practice nurses (APNs) to provide hospital discharge planning and transitional care for a variety of vulnerable patient populations. This is a nursing practice and its benefiting the elderly for potential health benefits to patients at a lower total cost of care.
