Special Issue for the Online Journal of International Case Analysis: Transforming Aging

Guest editors: Mary Helen McSweeney-Feld, Ph.D. and Wayne Nelson, Ph.D., Office of Collaborative Programs and the Center for Productive Aging, Towson University, Towson, MD

Issue overview

The delivery of chronic and long-term care services has evolved considerably in the 21^st century.  The aging of the Boomers is a global phenomenon.  Numerous changes in consumer tastes and preferences in long-term care service design, regulations affecting the delivery of long-term care services and the development of assistive technologies allowing individuals to age in place in their communities are only some of the factors that will transform aging in the future.

Many instructional textbooks include case studies which may serve as hypothetical examples of how services should be delivered, but these cases may not be descriptions of actual service delivery designs.  Even fewer cases provide an international perspective on the evolving field of long-term care.  This special issue seeks to address these issues, and provide academics and other practitioners with real-life examples of how organizations use innovative practices in the delivery of chronic care and long-term care services.

This special issue of the Online Journal of International Case Analysis seeks cases, papers or multimedia presentations highlighting new developments in service delivery in long-term care, including interviews with individuals who are engaged in activities that are transforming aging services. Submissions including international comparisons or perspectives are encouraged.
