Psychosocial Services in 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.

General Topics

We continue to seek articles that are not theme-related that discuss health care research: major policy issues that present information and analyses concerning health services and health financing programs (with emphasis on the Medicare and Medicaid Programs); or the development of a particular project or demonstration. A selection of articles is published in every issue under the header "Also Featuring."

All manuscripts should be submitted electronically by the final submission date to: HCFR_Submissions@cms.hhs.gov as well as two hard copies to: Editor-in-Chief, Health Care Financing Review, 7500 Security Boulevard, C3-24-07, Baltimore, Maryland 21244-1850. You may obtain a copy of "Information for Authors and Electronic Submission Guidelines" at www.cms.hhs.gov/HealthCareFinancingReview/.
