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 […]

In the clinical setting, it’s easy to get lost in the "trees"—the tremors, the slow gait, and the stiff limbs. This talk provides the "aerial view" needed to distinguish the broad clinical syndrome of Parkinsonism from the specific neurodegenerative pathologies hiding within it. By learning to see the forest for the trees, clinicians and caregivers can better predict specific disease trajectories and craft the most appropriate roadmaps for care.
