The SCANS content team headed by Jean Bandos along with the development team announced today that the SCANS Version 1.3 - May release is now available.  SCANS Version 1.3 is a major content release to the SCANS Knowledge Base.

In order to make more real-world tools for eldercare available more quickly, Jean and the team have devised a "rolling release".  For 3 months beginning in May another group of resources, processes, and tools will be made available to geriatric care managers at My Health Care Manager and our affiliates.
