A core part of Jennifer’s current research program includes health outcomes research (such as exploring the value of patient reported outcome measures) in the fields of healthy aging, cognition, mobility and various surgical outcomes. Jennifer also enthusiastically contributes as a co-director of operations of the Falls Prevention Clinic at Vancouver General Hospital. Dr. Davis is working collaboratively on an initiative to apply proven cost-effective and cost-saving secondary falls prevention interventions for high risk older adults across B.C.
