Rosalie A. Kane, PhD, is a professor of public health at the University of Minnesota where she is also a faculty member of the Center for Biomedical Ethics, School of Social Work, and the Center on Aging. Previously she was a social scientist at The Rand Corporation in Santa Monica, California and a faculty member at the University of California at Los Angeles, and before that, at the University of Utah.

Dr. Kane's research is devoted to aspects of long-term care services, organization, policies and financing. It ranges across all settings, including nursing homes, assisted living, and home care, and also concerns topics such as home care, case management, assessment, quality assurance, and regulation, value conflicts in long-term care, ethical dilemmas arising in long-term care, and the tensions between safety and protection versus freedom for those using long-term care services. She serves on many national task forces and committees, is a prolific author of journal articles, books, and reports, and is past editor-in-chief of both The Gerontologist and Health and Social Work. She directs a national study on Measurement, Indicators, and Improvement of Quality of Life in Nursing Homes and a national study on service patterns in assisted living. In 1998, she received a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Award in Health Policy Research.
