CDI Strategies - Volume 5, Issue 22

Case management departments across the country celebrate National Case Management Week October 9 to October 15. The Case Management Society of America developed a 25-page case management promotion guide in help individuals generate ideas for events and discuss core elements of their programs. The American Case Management Association created PowerPoint presentations for case managers to use.

“National Case Management Week recognizes the contributions to healthcare made by case managers and helps to educate consumers about the significant work case managers perform,” said CMSA 2010 - 2011 President, Teri Treiger, RN-C, MA, CCM, CCP, in a release included in its promotion guide. “As practitioners of case management, we have so many things to celebrate. I hope all case managers pause to acknowledge the strides we are making and to rededicate themselves to providing our patients and caregivers with the guidance and support they so desperately need during times of health crisis.”
