Partnering with CMSA

Ways in which the New England Chapter is partnering with National are identified below:

Learning and Development

CMSNE provides learning and development opportunities to all case managers in a variety of locations. Each Chapter Extension hosts a variety of educational meetings throughout the year. In addition, we have three committees dedicated to educational events

CMSNE utilizes feedback from members to determine the focus of supplemental programs. CMSNE ha s hosted focus groups to learn about the needs of hospital-based case managers. Soon thereafter, a e-mail group was created and remains active to this day. More day-long focused educational programs have been held with good turnout. CMSNE reviews all program evaluations for suggestions on future programs and improvements.

Building the Future

CMSNE conducts focus groups to help identify areas of interest to members. This effort, in conjunction with the membership-wide survey effort and strategic planning meetings of the Executive Board, helps keep the Chapter on track and moving forward.

Case Management Adherence Guidelines

Emphasizing the importance of adherence to medication regimens to patients is a major challenge facing healthcare professionals today. CMSA kicked off a nationwide adherence education effort through the creation of Case Management Adherence Guidelines (CMAGs). This ongoing effort is highlighted on the CMSA website (www.cmsa.org).
