SUMMARY:CMSA Northeastern Regional Coalition (2 CEs) - The Truth You Never Knew About “Routine” Male Circumcision
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n  \nHosted by Hudson Valley CMSA \nObjectives: \n\nReview circumcision’s roots in American medicine from 19th century Victorian times to the present\, and the procedure’s ongoing promotion despite it being considered “non-therapeutic” by U.S. and international medical organizations.\nDescribe long term psychological and sexual consequences of amputating the male foreskin\, including personal accounts from men and their female partners.\nDiscuss the ethical dilemmas that confront medical and nursing professionals asked to participate in non-therapeutic genital surgeries to which the patient cannot consent.\n\nSpeaker: Georganne Chapin served for 25 years as CEO of Hudson Health Plan\, a nonprofit Medicaid managed care insurer in New York’s Hudson Valley; founded the Hudson Center for Health Equity and Quality—a tech company she still leads—and in 2008\, co-founded Intact America\, an organization dedicated to ending the unethical genital cutting of all children. In 2024\, she published This Penis Business: A Social Activist’s Memoir\, winning a Book Excellence Award in the health category. In the book\, Chapin describes her unusual upbringing and early awareness of circumcision due to a serious complication suffered by her younger brother. Chapin holds a BA in anthropology from Barnard College\, an MA in sociomedical sciences from Columbia University\, and a JD from Pace University School of Law. She also has taught Bioethics at Pace law school and Dominican College School of Nursing.

SUMMARY:CMSA National (1 CE) - Everyday Empowerment: Community Coaching for Successful Transitions
DESCRIPTION:Register here!\n  \nJoin us for a presentation on Everyday Empowerment: Community Coaching for Successful Transitions.\n1 hr RN and CCM\n \nAs the pace of population aging accelerates\, the nursing home sector faces an access to care crisis. Limited admissions and downsizing have left many older adults without the necessary care and placement\, while current residents risk displacement (American Health Care Association\, 2023). This issue is compounded by the increasing demand for long-term care services. One solution is the federal Money Follows the Person (MFP) program\, which helps states rebalance their long-term care systems by transitioning individuals with long-term illnesses or disabilities from institutions back into the community. Successful and sustained transitions depend on factors such as planning\, coordination\, housing availability\, and access to home and community-based services (Colello\, 2021). However\, a significant gap identified is the lack of resources for integrating into everyday community life. Individuals often struggle with daily tasks previously managed in institutional settings\, such as getting a haircut\, finding a church\, or mailing a letter. The Community Coaching service line pilot program seeks to bridge this gap. The Community Coach is a role designed to augment services delivered by home and community-based case managers. Together\, the Community Coach and client choose needed content through the use of a topical menu and road map for a successful transition. This program focuses on enhancing life skills and fostering community connections\, which are crucial for successful reintegration. \nThis presentation will detail the need for community support\, the design of the service line\, and the pilot’s implementation. Preliminary results indicate that participants in the Community Coaching program experience smoother transitions and higher satisfaction levels. By addressing these gaps\, the program not only improves individual outcomes but also offers insights into how similar initiatives can be scaled and implemented nationwide. The long-term benefits of such support systems could lead to more sustainable and person-centered care models\, ultimately influencing future policy and practice in both the long-term care sector and community-based case management. \nObjectives: \n\nSummarize the current challenges faced by the nursing home sector due to the rapid pace of population aging\, including limited admissions\, downsizing\, and the resulting displacement risks for older adults.\nDescribe the goals\, mechanisms\, and successes of the MFP program in transitioning individuals from institutional settings to community living\, emphasizing the importance of planning\, coordination\, and access to home and community-based services.\nDevelop a similar Community Coaching program by leveraging the design\, implementation strategies\, and preliminary outcomes of the pilot program\, enabling other organizations to address gaps in community integration and enhance successful transitions for individuals moving from institutional care to community living.\n\nPresenters: \n\nSarah Cukale-Matos\, DNP\, RN\nKarissa Maddox\, MSN\, RN-BSN\, CMC

SUMMARY:CMSA National (1 CE) – From Nursing to Case Management: Adapting a Proven Scale to Understand and Improve the Case Manager Experience
DESCRIPTION:Register here!\n  \nJoin us for a presentation on From Nursing to Case Management: Adapting a Proven Scale to Understand and Improve the Case Manager Experience.\n1 hr RN and CCM\n \nThe Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) has been widely used for more than two decades to study the nursing work environment. Professional case managers specialize in care coordination to meet the clinical and financial goals of medically and socially complex patient populations across the continuum of care. Despite its importance\, there is limited research on the case management practice environment\, underscoring the need for a valid and reliable instrument to assess this concept. This study aims to adapt the PES-NWI to the context of hospital case management. Following expert panel feedback\, the instrument was adapted for use in hospital case management (Practice Environment Scale for Hospital Case Management). A convenience sample was recruited via social media and professional networks\, yielding 160 hospital case managers working across the United States. Psychometric evaluation of the adapted instrument included assessments of validity (content validity via expert panel review\, known-groups validity\, and factor analysis) and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha and item-total correlations). Hospital case management participants worked across 34 states and were mostly female (92%) from the disciplines of nursing (79%) and social work (21%). Nearly 60% of respondents held a national case management certification\, and 40% had worked in case management for over 10 years. Factor analysis yielded a four-factor solution with clean item loadings: Supportive and Participatory Leadership\, Staffing and Resource Adequacy\, Opportunities for Professional Development\, and Fostering Teamwork and Collaboration. The factor structure differs from the original instrument; however\, psychometric testing demonstrates strong reliability (overall Cronbach’s alpha of 0.93; item-to-total correlations from 0.37 to 0.80) and validity. The Practice Environment Scale for Hospital Case Management is the first instrument to assess case managers’ practice environments in the hospital setting\, which provides a foundation for future research. Understanding the practice environment is important for workforce development\, enhancing professional satisfaction\, and maximizing the impact of case management across acute care settings. \nObjectives: \n\nExplain the importance of the practice environment for workforce and professional development of case managers.\nDescribe the validity and reliability of the adapted instrument to measure practice environment for case managers.\nSummarize how the adapted instrument can be used in future research related to the workforce and professional development of case managers.\n\nPresenters: \n\nKristen Berryman\, MSN\, RN\, CCM

SUMMARY:SE Coalition hosted by CMSA Atlanta (1 CE): The Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: Integrating Case Management\, Utilization Review\, and Human Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Information & Registration Here \nThe CMSA SE Education Coalition cordially invites you to join us at the January 2026 Educational Webinar: \nThe Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: Integrating Case Management\, Utilization Review\, and Human Collaboration\nNetworking 6:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. ET - Presentation 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. ET\n \nArtificial intelligence (AI) offers significant potential to enhance efficiency\, accuracy\, and personalization across healthcare\, particularly within case management (CM) and utilization review (UR). However\, realizing these benefits requires a strong ethical foundation that ensures AI supports healthcare professionals. Ethical AI integration depends on core principles such as transparency\, fairness\, accountability\, and equity. This includes using representative\, bias-mitigated datasets; ensuring algorithmic explainability; protecting patient privacy\, consent\, and autonomy; and establishing robust oversight and regulatory structures. \nWithin human-in-the-loop models\, clinicians and case managers can leverage AI for tasks such as data processing\, chart review\, predictive modeling\, and denial management while maintaining ultimate authority and clinical judgment. Thoughtfully designed AI systems can identify care gaps\, support targeted interventions\, and advance equitable care; without proper safeguards\, they risk reinforcing disparities or undermining person-centered values. As AI continues to evolve\, interdisciplinary collaboration\, continuous monitoring\, and adaptive ethical frameworks remain essential for responsible adoption. \nAttendees will leave this session with a clear understanding of the ethical considerations necessary for safe and effective AI use in CM and UR; the role of human oversight in maintaining clinical integrity; and practical strategies to mitigate bias\, protect patient rights\, and ensure algorithms support equitable\, person-centered care. They will also gain insight into real-world applications where AI augments workflows without sacrificing professional accountability or patient trust. \nLearning Objectives\nLearners should be able to:\n1. Describe the ethical principles relevant to AI deployment in case management and utilization review.\n2. Explain the role of “human-in-the-loop” and human collaboration in ethically integrating AI into CM and UR workflows.\n3. Recognize the potential risks and equity concerns associated with AI use in healthcare and propose strategies to mitigate them.  \nSpeakers:\nDr. Heaven Provo\, MBA\, DNP\, RN\, CCM\, PHNA-BC\, NE-BC\, LNFA\, CAHIMS\, FCM\nBen Parkison\, MBA\, MS Eng \nCost:\nCMSA Members: Free\nNon-Members: $25.00 \nTo become a member of CMSA\, visit https://cmsa.org/membership

SUMMARY:CMSA Southern California (3 CEs) - CMSA Southern California Quarterly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Registration & Information Here \n7:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. PT | 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. MT | 9:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. CT | 10:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. ET \nTopic 1\nCase Management Ethics: Navigating Challenges with a Steady Moral Compass (1 CCM Ethics)\nIn an era marked by evolving healthcare policies and heightened political polarization\, professional case managers must anchor their practice in ethical principles to ensure quality\, equitable care for all clients. This presentation explores the ethical foundations of case management\, focusing on the CCMC Code of Professional Conduct and CMSA Standards of Practice. The five core ethical principles of autonomy\, beneficence\, fidelity\, justice\, and nonmaleficence will provide a basis from which attendees will examine contemporary dilemmas arising from changes in legislation\, health coverage\, and immigration enforcement\, and learn how these challenges intensify ethical pressures in daily practice. \nThrough case scenarios and discussion\, attendees will gain insights into applying ethical principles to real-world situations\, such as advocating for patient autonomy\, ensuring justice in care delivery\, and upholding fidelity despite resource constraints. The presentation also highlights the importance of acknowledging personal biases\, mitigating disparities\, and fostering inclusive\, trauma-informed care environments. Case managers’ unique position as ethical leaders and advocates within interprofessional teams will be emphasized\, along with practical strategies for self-care and resilience against moral distress. \nBy returning to the core tenets of ethical practice\, case managers can confidently navigate complex\, politically fraught circumstances\, reinforcing their professional identity and commitment to compassionate\, equitable care. This session will empower case managers to use ethics as an active guide—not just a written standard—anchoring their decision-making in times of uncertainty and change. \nLearning Outcomes: At the end of this presentation\, attendees will be able to:\n1. Define the five foundational ethical principles—autonomy\, beneficence\, fidelity\, justice\, and nonmaleficence— and describe their application in case management practice.\n2. Analyze real-world ethical dilemmas faced by case managers in the context of shifting laws\, policies\, and societal pressures\, and identify strategies for ethical decision-making\, including application of the CCMC Code of Professional Conduct and CMSA Standards of Practice.\n3. Explore the role of case managers as ethical leaders and advocates for equitable\, trauma-informed care\, including approaches to addressing personal bias and promoting policy change \nPresenter: Dr. Raine Arndt-Couch\, DSW\, JD\, LCSW\, CCM\, FCM\nDirector of Social Services Management\, Medi-Cal Population Health Management\, Blue Shield of California \nTopic 2\nMedically Tailored Meals: They’re NOT Artificial\, but They ARE Definitely Intelligent\n\n“You are what you eat” is ancient wisdom\, but medically tailored meals (MTM) are part of the modern Food as Medicine movement. Project Angel Food is an accredited member of the Food Is Medicine Coalition and one of the leading providers of MTM in the country\, making and delivering more than 1.5\nmillion MTM per year in Los Angeles County. We will help you understand the science behind MTM and how the intervention fits within a patient’s care plan\, addresses nutrition insecurity\, and provides a cost-effective treatment for many chronic health conditions. We’ll discuss how MTM has been taking root in government conference rooms and in doctors’ exam rooms. You’ll be able to offer this service to your patients knowing that it can help them\, as one of our clients said\, “go from feeling like they’re on their deathbed to feeling like they’re dancing in the streets.” \nLearning Outcomes: At the end of this presentation\, attendees will be able to:\n1. Define a “medically tailored meal” and understand the role of nutrition education in a medically tailored meal intervention -- including how the treatment might look for exemplar chronic health conditions of diabetes\, chronic kidney disease\, congestive heart failure\, and HIV/AIDS.\n2. Describe the impact of medically tailored meals on improving health outcomes\, reducing healthcare costs\, and increasing patient quality of life.\n3. Recognize how the Food as Medicine movement is elevating the profile and availability of medically tailored meals around the country – and especially in California. \nPresenters:\nBenjamin R. Martin\, J.D.\, Director of Programs & Strategy\, Project Angel Food\nMax Schroder\, RDN\, M.Ed.\, Registered Dietitian\, Project Angel Food \nTopic 3\nPreconception and Interoception Health Impacts on Maternal & Infant Health\nIn many under-resourced communities\, pregnant individuals often face limited access to early and regular healthcare. This lack of access\, combined with bias and mistrust of the healthcare system\, disproportionately affects pregnancy and birth outcomes of some populations. By adopting a patient-centered approach to care\, we hope to build trust to aid in improving both birth outcomes and the infant's first year of life. This presentation underscores the critical importance of understanding one's health before and between pregnancies\, highlighting how undiagnosed and unmanaged chronic diseases can significantly impact pregnancies and maternal and infant health outcomes. \nLearning Outcomes: At the end of this presentation\, attendees will be able to:\n1. Compare information presented against current knowledge.\n2. Identify strategies that may drive better maternal and infant health outcomes.\n3. Discuss the importance of understanding one's health before and between pregnancies with birthing people. \n3 Contact Hours\nBRN - CEP 14032\nCCM - Activity Code Pending\nApproval Code - Pending \nProvider approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing\, Provider #CEP14032 for 3 contact hours. \nTickets\n$50.00 Member Registration\n$60.00 Non-Member Registration\n$175.00 CMSA-SCC Vendor Booth (Please register as 'guest')

SUMMARY:CMSA National (1 CE) - Where Perspectives Meet: Case Managers and Aging Life Care Managers Across the Care Continuum
DESCRIPTION:Registration & Information Here \nWhere Perspectives Meet: Case Managers and Aging Life  Care Managers Across the Care Continuum\nDescription: \nCase managers and aging life care managers work across diverse settings\, disciplines\, and levels of experience\, yet share responsibility for supporting safe\, coordinated\, and person-centered care. This panel discussion brings together professionals from varied backgrounds to explore where case manager and care manager perspectives align\, where they differ\, and how collaboration across roles can strengthen transitions of care and patient outcomes. \nPanelists will share real-world insights on reducing readmissions\, improving care coordination\, and addressing social determinants of health that affect recovery—particularly for older adults and individuals with complex medical and psychosocial needs. Through facilitated discussion and practice-based examples\, participants will gain practical perspectives on common transition-of-care challenges and interdisciplinary strategies that support continuity\, safety\, and effective communication across the care continuum. \nObjectives: \n\nDescribe the distinct and complementary roles of case managers and care managers across settings\, and how their perspectives align and differ in care coordination.\nRecognize common transition-of-care challenges that contribute to gaps in safety\, continuity\, and increased readmission risk.\nIdentify interdisciplinary communication and collaboration strategies that support effective\, person-centered transitions of care across the continuum.\nApply strategies to address social determinants of health that influence recovery and long-term stability for individuals with complex needs.\n\nCost: FREE to Members & Non-Members \nModerator:  \n\nDr. Raine Arndt-Couch\, DSW\, JD\, LCSW\, CCM\, FCM\n\nPanel:  \n\nSheila Kolt\, LCSW\, CMC\nNina Pflumm Herndon\, MAG\, CMC\, CLPF\nCheryl Acres\, RN\, CCM
