Earning accreditation helps organizations: • Improve communication between organizations coordinating care, leading to better care integration. • Become more efficient by reducing errors and duplicated services. • Provide person-centered care, leading to better care planning and monitoring. • Support contracting needs by demonstrating their readiness to be trusted partners.

Organizations that provide coordination of long-term services and supports (LTSS) play a vital role in keeping people with disabling conditions and chronic illness as healthy and independent as possible. NCQA LTSS Accreditation programs are a roadmap for delivering integrated, efficient person-centered care. They guide improvement— organizations can use the standards as a gap analysis and focus activities in areas that are most important to individuals, payers and states. Accreditation program standards are based on industry best practices and include key areas:

Measurement and quality improvement

The assessment process

Care transitions

Person-centered care planning and monitoring

is the quarterly journal of the American Society on Aging.

Each issue is devoted to bringing together the most useful and current knowledge about a specific topic in the field of aging, with emphasis on practice, research, and policy.

Peer review consists of the following practice: the Genera- tions editorial board invites a guest editor, selected because of prominence within his or her subject area, to organize an issue of the publication around themes identified by the board. Authors are then proposed by the guest editor and are evaluated by the board on the basis of demon- strated knowledge, achievement, and excellence in their respec- tive fields. All manuscripts are reviewed by the guest editor, editor, and, when appropriate, members of the editorial board. As occurs in any peer review process, revisions may be re- quired, and articles that do not meet the editorial standards of Generations will not be published.
