Lisa M. Onesko, DNP, APRN-BC
Professor and Director of DNP Program
Dr. Onesko’s research currently investigates development of a prototypical haptic device for use in nursing simulation. Working with faculty from the Department of Computer Science at Kent State University, she is investigating how to improve physical exams during telehealth visits. Dr. Onesko has 18 years of practice as a nurse practitioner, and her previous research has examined the impact of home visits by advanced practice nurses on chronically ill, homebound older adults following a hospital or extended care facility stay. Her model for transitional care by APNs providing home visits for the chronically ill has investigated improved outcomes, including lower rates of recidivism for hospitalization and emergency department visits. This easily translatable model improves cost outcomes for this population and increases patient satisfaction with health providers and overall quality of life.
