Case Management Week is Almost Here! How Are You Celebrating?

The Case Manager

In this week’s post, I wanted to let readers know that Case Management Week will take place from October 12th to 18th this year. 

While the official celebration runs from Oct. 12 to Oct. 18, the Case Management Society of America is recognizing case managers all month long with free and educational events, CE opportunities, valuable resources, networking events, prizes, and more for all case managers. To learn about all of the events taking place, visit the National Case Management Week website at https://cmsa.org/about/national-cm-week 

The theme this year is Innovate. Advocate. Celebrate Case Management! I will be participating throughout the month, and I hope you will join me! 

Case Management Week is the time for you to share what you do and the achievements you accomplish every day. Don’t be shy – each of you must make your value known to the injured worker, their family members, employers, claims adjusters, and all members of the healthcare team (Payers and Providers).

Your role is crucial in ensuring care is coordinated, transitions are safe, and those able to return to work do so securely. For those unable to return, YOU are an advocate in the complex healthcare system. You assist your injured workers in finding the resources they need to reach their highest potential within their restrictions. 

No other member of the healthcare team does what you do. You have insight into the medical, social, and psychological needs of your patients, and work with them as they travel on their journey to ensure they are educated and safe. 

I hope you and your team take the time to recognize the important work and impact you make every day as case managers by celebrating National Case Managers Week/Month. You are a lifeline to many! 

I hope you and your teams take the time to plan how your organization will celebrate. Additionally, take advantage of all the activities planned by YOUR professional association, the Case Management Society of America, throughout the month. Here is the link to learn more and register https://cmsa.org/about/national-cm-week 

On behalf of the entire team at WorkersCompensation.com, we thank each of you for the work you do every day on behalf of the US workforce and wish you all a Happy Case Management Week!
