Grand Rounds: Kristi Williams, PhD, RN

“CHATO design, pilot testing and update on current implementation and results” Thursday, September 15, 2022 @ 12:00 – 1:00 pm ET

Kristine Williams, PhD, RN, is a nurse gerontologist whose program of research includes multiple contributions leading to improved nursing care for older adults by enhancing nurse-patient communication, providing cognitive training to improve self-care for older adults, and by using technology to link family caregivers of persons with dementia to expert in-home guidance using video telehealth technology. She has used clinical trials to develop and test innovative interventions directly applicable to care settings that improve outcomes for older adults and their families across long term service and support settings. Dr. Williams has received continuous NIH funding since an R03 in 2005 followed by multiple K12, CTSA, R21, R34, R61 and R01 studies.
