As a clinician researcher, Ms. Kelley utilizes mixed methods to develop, evaluate and support innovative care strategies reducing barriers of care, and implementation and dissemination of
these proven practices. Her recent foci includes, strategies to impact: strengthening organizational impact utilizing proven implementation science, LEAN sigma, Innovation Corps and
Kirkpatrick Partners (among other industry methods), simplifying remote care delivery to rural areas for older adults, educating clinical staff in transitional care coordination and delivery
of telemedicine, addressing gaps in geriatric care for older rural patients to improve delivery, and connecting caregivers of older rural adults to available resources, among others. RECENT

(WEBINARS, PODCAST, OTHER) WEBINARS BUILDING A COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE AROUND VIRTUAL QUALITATIVE METHODS by Karen Albright, PhD ; Jane Moeckli, PhD ; Ana-Monica Racila, PhD ; Jessica Young,
MPH, MSW Collaborators: Lynette Kelley, FNP, Cristina Ortiz, PhD, Jennifer Van Tiem, PhD, Nicole Johnson Seminar date: 6/9/2022 DESCRIPTION: The COVID-19 pandemic forced a number of changes
to the qualitative research cycle, including an increased use of technology-mediated approaches to qualitative research. These more digital research workflows have opened up new data sources
(e.g., chats alongside video), normalized some underutilized data sources (e.g. video recording), and confounded traditional data collection methods (e.g., direct observation and site
visits). These changes have generated questions about information security and privacy, rigor, and equity. The presenters will explore some of these modifications and innovations using case
studies of research projects that had to transition to, or begin with, COVID-sensitive processes. The presentation will end with resources for our continued engagement with virtual
qualitative methods. Watch: Building a Community of Practice around Virtual Qualitative Methods INTENDED AUDIENCE: Researchers, practitioners, leaders, or policy makers with an interest in
conducting or understanding qualitative methods.
