and emerging service delivery models. In addition to providing
expertise in research methods, study design and statistical analysis,
Dr Rosenfeld works with the Director of Outcomes Analysis and Research
and other members of the Center staff to promote and expand the
utilization of Outcomes data currently available through the

Prior to joining VNSNY, Dr Rosenfeld was Senior Research Associate at
the Division of Health Policy at the New York Academy of Medicine
(NYAM), where she began her collaboration with VNSNY on a study of
racial disparities in hospice referrals at VNSNY. Dr Rosenfeld was also
the Principal Investigator on a New York Community Trust funded study
that examined work-life balance among mature, employed nurses with
family caregiving responsibilities. This study received an Honorable
Mention for the 2006 Susan B Anthony Award for Excellence in Research
on Older Women given by the American Public Health Association.
While at NYAM, Dr Rosenfeld was co-PI on two other studies: one that
assessed the availability of medical information for Limited English
Proficient New Yorkers and the other identified successful strategies
for retaining Registered Nurses in New York City hospitals. In
addition, she developed a web-based database of research and public
policy materials for the Center for Aging Policy, an advocacy project
to promote the role of social workers in policy efforts to improve care
for the elderly.
Prior to her tenure at NYAM, Dr Rosenfeld held a joint position at the
NYU Division of Nursing and the NYUMC Department of Nursing where she
conducted a wide range of evaluation and quality improvement studies on
geriatric nursing practices, nursing educational models and hospital
based nursing. During this period, Dr Rosenfeld conducted research on
the emerging roles of Nurse Practitioners in acute care and long-term
care settings, as well as collaborating on an information
literacy/evidence-based practice model at both the academic and
practice settings.
Dr Rosenfeld began her career at the National League for Nursing at
which time she improved the quality and timeliness of the Annual Survey
of Nursing Educational Programs, the Biennial Census of Nurse faculty
and the Newly-Licensed Nurse Survey, studies that have vital importance
to federal estimates of the current nursing workforce and projections
for future workforce requirements.
