I am a LinkedIn aficionado. I love connecting with people and connecting people, and LinkedIn has increased my ability to do so exponentially. When CMSA first started discussing the creation of the International Special Interest Group (ISIG), I utilized LinkedIn to purposefully connect with case managers around the world and learn about how they work and impact their populations.

Case managers are expert communicators and understand this is a skill essential to meet the CMSA Standards of Practice and effectively help patients navigate a complex health system (CMSA, 2022). They may meet their patients in person either in the acute or ambulatory care setting. Other case managers practice remotely and establish a relationship with patients via telephone or using other telecommunication tools. These skills honed over time, study and practice provide the basics of practice for case managers.

International case management – how exciting! CMSA has created an International Special Interest Group (ISIG) linking CMSA with case management societies around the world. The ISIG provides a supportive environment for professional growth and the exchange of ideas in a global case management landscape.
