Study Coordinator

Job Description :

Placed at the Harvard Medical School affiliate Marcus Institute for Aging Research at Hebrew SeniorLife (https : / / www.marcusinstituteforaging.org), the Coordinator will support an eight-site hospital intervention trial across the US, the Evaluating Novel Healthcare Approaches to Nurturing and Caring for Hospitalized Elders (ENHANCE) trial (https : / / enhancetrial.org / ). The goal of ENHANCE is to improve care of older patients by preventing delirium using a multicomponent, non-pharmacologic program : the Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP, https : / / help.agscocare.org), and specifically includes caregivers. Effectiveness will be evaluated using state-of-the-art implementation science. HELP is a successful and evidence-based clinical program that can prevent delirium and falls, shorten hospital stays, and decrease admissions to nursing homes. While the ENHANCE Trial will be the major responsibility for the position, other and future coordinator responsibilities are a part of this position.

The Coordinator will support all aspects of the project including updating of written protocols, developing agendas, writing minutes, monitoring and managing REDCap data entry, maintaining and updating web-based training material on iPads, maintaining operations manuals and the study website, coordinating implementation evaluation efforts, and supporting day-to day operations.

We are looking for a person who is enthusiastic about supporting research with the goal to improve hospital care for older adults and their families. This is an ideal position for an individual who wants to work and learn in a cutting-edge research environment. The Study Coordinator will work with the research team under the direction of the Principal Investigator (PI, Dr. Sharon Inouye) and Project Director (Dr. Eva Schmitt). We look forward to welcoming a new member to our team soon.
