Registration & Information Here Where Perspectives Meet: Case Managers and Aging Life  Care Managers Across the Care Continuum Description: Case 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. Panelists 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. Objectives: Describe the distinct and complementary roles of case managers and care managers across settings, and how their perspectives align and differ in care coordination.

Registration & Information here! Improving Hypertension Control in the Black and African American Population Hypertension remains a leading risk factor for cardiovascular and renal disease, with well-documented disparities in both prevalence and control across racial groups. Our Population Health team conducted an in-depth analysis of hypertension control outcomes, stratified by race, to better understand inequities within our patient population. This analysis revealed that Black and African American patients were 7% less likely to have controlled hypertension compared to other racial groups. This finding is particularly concerning given that Black and African American individuals are approximately 30% more likely to develop hypertension, underscoring a critical and persistent health inequity. Uncontrolled hypertension significantly increases the risk of adverse health outcomes, including myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, dementia, and chronic kidney disease—conditions that substantially diminish quality of life and contribute to increased healthcare utilization and costs. Recognizing the disproportionate burden borne by Black and African American patients, our team prioritized targeted interventions aimed at improving hypertension control within this population. Grounded in evidence demonstrating that effective blood pressure management can prevent or delay the onset of chronic disease, we implemented focused outreach and care strategies to support improved clinical outcomes. By addressing both short-term blood pressure […]

Register Here! Evolving from a Good to Great (G2G) Case Manager  1 hr RN, CCM, SW  Members:  $0 Non-Members: $40  ABSTRACT:   What does it mean to be great and good? And why do case managers need to consider being great? Doesn’t a performance review with a superior score mean greatness? Please don’t misunderstand; being a good case manager is not negative. Becoming a great case manager means reaching your full potential and engaging in continuous improvement.  A G2G journey needs attention, support, and constant evaluation. Somewhat like a garden. Start small like a seedling. As you sprout, with leaves, buds and stems reaching for the sun while receiving the right amount of water and nutrients. Doing what you do best produces valuable, sustainable results equal to colorful flowers in my garden metaphor. Yes, becoming great and good is challenging but necessary. Our patients/clients, families and communities need more than good from us. American healthcare is fractured and complicated; medical language is confusing and our reimbursement methods are a mystery. We have to be good and great case managers!  This interactive session explores how case managers can evolve from good to great. Practical tips and strategies will be reviewed and applied for your G2G journey.  OBJECTIVES:  Define a good and great case manager.  Identify internal and external […]

CMSA Case Management Boot Camp Register Now Case Management is a growing health care profession, with a presence in every health delivery setting. Professionals moving to case management positions may or may not have access to adequate orientation and training. They often ‘learn on the job’ and are not exposed to knowledge and skills that advance the practice of case management. CMSA is filling this gap with an in-person CM Bootcamp offering for case managers looking to build their skills and experience. The term ‘boot camp’ originated from the military’s requirement for intensive, short-term training. CMSA’s boot camp will provide an immersive and focused opportunity to grow and enhance the novice case manager’s skills through a three-part structure. If you have been a case manager for five years or less, are looking to change your area of practice, or advance your professional growth, this course is for you! Here’s a road map of the CMSA CM Boot Camp journey: Your Professional Footprint:  Here, participants will learn what professionalism entails and how the Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics of case management defines the work. Deep dives into client/patient interactions, communication styles and motivational interviewing allow participants to practice using real-life situations […]
