SSA Plans to Measure Functional Capacity

William P. Fisher, Jr. has been named Health Status Measurement consultant for the Social Security Administration's Disability Process Redesign Project. The aim of the project is to base the SSA Supplemental Security Income and Disability payments less on physical impairment and more on functional capacity.

As a consultant, Fisher's role will be to help shape the Requests For Proposals (RFPs) that the SSA will issue in its search for researchers to conduct various studies related to the redesign project. His attention will be focused on making measures of physical and psychosocial functional capacity as simple and generalizable as possible.

To be placed on the SSA mailing list for information about these RFPs, write to:
