CMSA Case Management Boot Camp September 24-26, 2025 Register Here! 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 […]

REGISTER HERE   Hospital at home is not a new medium of acute care, however during the pandemic, it became more mainstream to help alleviate capacity struggles. In 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) initiated a waiver called Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCAH) under section 1135. This waiver allowed hospital systems to offer acute inpatient care to patients in their own homes with greater flexibility. This waiver is set to expire soon and many healthcare organizations are hesitant to continue their hospital at home programs without its support. This presentation will provide a detailed description of the pending legislation as well as a review of Hospital at Home readmission rates, mortality rates, and reimbursement. Describe the pending legislation for continuation of the AHCAH waiver. Compare the readmission and mortality rates of hospital at-home patients with brick-and-mortar patients. Explain the reimbursement and cost rates of hospital at-home program vs brick-and-mortar.
