Greg Arling
Dr. Arling is Professor in the School of Nursing at Purdue University and a Faculty Associate in Purdue’s Center for Aging and the Life Course. He has been a principal or co-investigator on projects supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Veterans Health Administration, National Institute on Aging, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and state Medicaid programs. Currently he is involved in studies evaluating access, use and outcomes of community-based long-term care programs; micro-simulation of future long-term services and supports under different demographic and policy scenarios; long-term care trajectories of older people with and without dementia; and data system development for transitions from hospital to home.

| Research interests | My research interests are in health care quality assessment, evaluation, and policy analysis. Much of his research has been with elderly populations in long-term care settings. He has helped develop comprehensive measures of care quality, assessed the accuracy and effectiveness of these measures, and applied them to quality improvement, public reporting and pay-for-performance. He also has studied transitions between care settings, such as hospital, nursing home, and community; quality and outcomes of care after a stroke; and, projections of future use and costs of long-term supports and services. |
