Research

Dr. Capezuti is known for her work in improving the care of older adults by interventions and models that positively influence health care provider’s knowledge and work environment. Currently Dr. Capezuti is part of a multidisciplinary (Architecture, Geriatric Medicine, Sleep Medicine), multi-institutional (Cornell University and Weill-Cornell Medical School) research team that is developing and testing an educational and technological model to improve medication adherence in older persons receiving home care services as well as other projects to improve sleep regulation. This work is funded by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, the Clinical Translational Science Center (CTSC) of Weill Cornell Medical College (1 UL1 TR002384-01) and a Supplement grant to the Translational Research Institute on Pain in Later Life (Grant #5P39AG022845-17- NIA). Past research includes outcomes associated with the NICHE program and restraint minimalization in health care settings.
