Alert: Canvas Outage Update
Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.

Post-Acute Care Research and Team Science (PACRATS)
PACRATS is a multidisciplinary group of investigators at the University of Colorado. Our goal is to improve the approach researchers take within the post-acute care community by:
- Emphasizing the role of community engagement,
- Standardizing study designs that adhere to regulatory requirements in our complex health care environment, and
- Developing research best practices for older, and often vulnerable, patient populations.
Our group includes researchers from the School of Medicine, the Division of Health Care Policy and Research, the Department of Medicine, College of Nursing, the PACE program and community providers. Pre-and post-doctoral trainees are also involved.
During our monthly meetings, we collaborate with community-based providers and members of the post-acute care community to discuss ways of improving care.
Research Areas
Our researchers are currently working to improve post-acute and long-term care in the following areas:
