CMS HEALTH CARE FINANCING REVIEW
The journal, Health Care Financing Review is looking for manuscripts concerned with psychosocial issues and long-term care. The long-term care (LTC) system serves people with diverse needs, including those with advanced chronic conditions, long-term disabilities, and people who are approaching the end of life. An integral part of addressing each individual's comprehensive care needs is appropriate psychosocial assessment, care planning, and intervention. This issue of the Review will focus on research that speaks to the importance of psychosocial care and its relationship to the overall well-being and quality of life for people receiving LTC services in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other settings. Of particular interest are manuscripts that address processes of care and outcome measurement in psychosocial care, as well as cost effectiveness of LTC psychosocial services. Information on submission can be found at: http://www4.cms.hhs.gov/HealthCareFinancingReview/19 Call for Papers.asp
Deadline: September 5, 2008
