Penny Feldman on home healthcare quality and research. Interview by Susan V. White.

Penny Hollander Feldman, PhD, is Vice President for Research and Evaluation at the Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY) and Director of the Center for Home Care Policy and Research. Prior to joining VNSNY, Dr. Feldman served on the faculties of the Kennedy School of Government and the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard School of Public Health. At the Center for Home Care Policy and Research, she directs projects focused on improving the quality, outcomes, and cost-effectiveness of home-based care, supporting informed policymaking by long-term care decision makers, and helping communities promote the health, well-being and independence of people with chronic illness or disability. The translation and implementation of research in both service and policy settings has been an issue of ongoing focus for Dr. Feldman. She also served as a member of the Institute of Medicine Committee on Improving the Quality of Long-Term Care, which issued its report in 2001.
