Spring 2021 issue of Generations Journal

Generations Journal | Spring 2021 VOLUME 45. ISSUE 1 A Note from Leanne Clark-Shirley, PhD Dear Readers, The Biden Administration is off and running this spring to advance its American Jobs Plan, which, among other provisions, calls upon Congress to "solidify the infrastructure of our care economy by creating jobs and raising wages and benefits for essential home care workers." The elevation of home-and-community based care into the national infrastructure dialogue is an exciting yet long overdue moment. ASA is proud to release the Spring 2021 issue of Generations during this moment: As the World Turns: Care Management's Continued Role in an Ever-Changing Delivery System. Guest-editors Robert Applebaum and Jennifer Heston-Mullins of Miami University’s Scripps Gerontology Center have curated an issue that examines the core, the practice, and the future of care management, thirty years after Rosalie A. Kane edited an issue on the then-new practice of case management. It is fitting that this issue opens with tributes to Dr. Kane and to Joan Litchfield Quinn, both immensely influential leaders in care practice and policy whom we’ve lost in recent years.  After Molly Rees Gavin describes The Core Elements of Care Management, we get a detailed look at A Day in the Life of a Care Manager—2020, while Donna Benton, Namkee Choi, Kevin Mahoney, and others discuss the intersections of care management with family care, managed care, and self-direction. Norma Thomas and Raina Leon explore culture and implicit bias, while offering steps to improve care management delivery to diverse elders in Future Directions of Care Management: Care Management in a World of Many Cultures. Then, Bonnie Ewald and Robyn Golden situate care management in movements such as the Age-Friendly Health Systems framework as they consider The Role of Care Management in a Changing Healthcare System. Richard Browdie and Larry Polivka close out the issue with an equally retrospective and forward-looking conversation on The Future of Care Management in the Aging Network: What Would Rosalie Say? What would Rosalie Kane, her late husband Bob, James Jackson, Phoebe Liebig, and so many other pioneers we've lost say about this moment? And, what would they have us advocate for and demand? Their work is far from over—and we hope you draw inspiration from this issue as you continue yours.  Regards,     Leanne Clark-Shirley, PhD Vice President, Programs & Thought Leadership   You Might Want to Read...
