Setting the Standard for Patient-Centered Care
Are You Ready to Celebrate National Case Management Week?
It is our most favorite time of the year — National Case Management Week is October 9-15, 2022. It’s a time to celebrate YOU, and honor and reward case managers for setting the standard for patient-centered care for our communities across the country. Case managers have stepped up in new and innovative ways to improve health outcomes, and while CMSA celebrates case managers all year long, we cannot wait to have a designated week to show our appreciation!
CM Week 2022 is the perfect opportunity to not only recognize our tireless case managers and their commitment to upholding the standards, but to also educate payers, providers, regulators and consumers about the tremendous value case managers bring to the successful delivery of healthcare. Getting everyone involved in this celebration is imperative to expanding the awareness of the value of case management.
