PubMedCentral adds new journals to its backfile content

PubMedCentral has added the large backfile of the ANNALS of SURGERY to its free content.
http://www.pubmedcentral.gov/tocrender.fcgi?journal=230&action=archive

The back issues of this journal are currently being digitized.
While this is in progress you may find gaps in the range of available issues/volumes below.
The backfile consists of v.69 (1919)- v.242:no.4 (2005:Oct).
There is a rolling 6 month delay for current content.


PubMed Central is a digital archive of life sciences journal literature at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH),
developed and managed by NIH's National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in the National Library of Medicine (NLM).

http://www.pubmedcentral.gov/index.html

With PubMed Central, NLM is taking the lead in preserving and maintaining unrestricted access to the electronic literature,
just as it has done for decades with the printed biomedical literature.
PubMed Central aims to fill the role of a world class library in the digital age.
It is not a journal publisher.
NLM believes that giving all users free and unrestricted access to the material in PubMed Central is the best way
to ensure the durability and utility of the archive as technology changes over time.

New NAP e-text added to LYMAN......Improving the Quality of Health Care for Mental and Substance-Use Conditions

New NAP e-text added to LYMAN.
This is a new addition to the Quality Chasm Series from the Institute of Medicine.
http://darwin.nap.edu/books/0309100445/html/

Improving the Quality of Health Care for Mental and Substance-Use Conditions.
Committee on Crossing the Quality Chasm: Adaptation to Mental Health and Addictive Disorders
528 pages, 6 x 9, 2006


Each year, more than 33 million Americans receive health care for mental or substance-use conditions, or both.
Together, mental and substance-use illnesses are the leading cause of death and disability for women,
the highest for men ages 15-44, and the second highest for all men.
Effective treatments exist, but services are frequently fragmented and, as with general health care,
there are barriers that prevent many from receiving these treatments as designed or at all.
The consequences of this are serious for these individuals and their families;
their employers and the workforce; for the nation s economy;
as well as the education, welfare, and justice systems.
Improving the Quality of Health Care for Mental and Substance-Use Conditions examines the distinctive characteristics of health care for mental and substance-use conditions,
including payment, benefit coverage, and regulatory issues, as well as health care organization and delivery issues.
This new volume in the Quality Chasm series puts forth an agenda for improving the quality of this care based on this analysis.
Patients and their families, primary health care providers, specialty mental health and substance-use treatment providers,
health care organizations, health plans, purchasers of group health care, and all involved in health care for mental and substance use conditions
will benefit from this guide to achieving better care.
