MD, currently holds an endowed chair in
Long-term Care and Aging, directs the Center

directs an AHRQ-funded Evidence-based
Practice Center. He was the Dean of the
University of Minnesota School of Public

conducted numerous research studies on both
the outcome of clinical care and the
organization of care, with special attention
to the care of older persons, especially
those needing long-term care. He currently
directs an Evidence-based Practice Center.
He is the author or editor of more than 30
books and 350 journal articles and book
chapters on health services research,
geriatrics, and long-term care. He served on
the World Health Organization’s Expert
Committee on Aging. His current research
addresses the outcomes of acute and
long-term care, especially the effects of
hospital and post-hospital care and better
ways to deliver chronic care. He has
received the President’s Award from the
American Society on Aging and the Polisher
Award from the Gerontological Society of
America. He was elected to the University of
Minnesota’s Academic Health Center’s Academy
for Excellence in Health Research. He
received the Enrico Greppi Prize from the
Italian Society of Gerontology and
Geriatrics. Based on the struggles to get
adequate long-term care for their mother, he
and his sister, Joan West, wrote It
Shouldn’t Be This Way. He has formed a
national advocacy group, Professionals with
Personal Experience with Chronic Care (PPECC).Teaches
