Biography
| Dr. Susan Miller is Associate Professor of Community Health (Research) at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. She is a gerontologist and epidemiologist whose research focuses on nursing home end-of-life care, hospice care, and long-term care access and utilization (especially at the end of life). Dr. Miller’s recent research includes an applied policy study aimed at understanding how state policies and practices influence access to and quality of palliative care/hospice for persons receiving long-term care services a RWJ-funded study to identify and disseminate nursing home/hospice “collaborative solutions ” and research funded by the National Institute on Aging to develop a model for predicting mortality for persons with advanced dementia (so to identify earlier the need for palliative care/hospice). |
