Bowles was a critical care nurse. In this capacity, she realised that hospital patients often did not possess enough knowledge to take care of themselves at home, and were often not referred to appropriate post-hospital care. This prompted her to research why older people return to the hospital after being discharged. She defined key risk factors (e.g. physical stability, length of stay in hospital, having a caregiver at home) that impacted the likelihood of additional hospital care following discharge.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kathryn H.
