2021 CMSNE Conference Summary and Objectives
Over the past decade, healthcare has emerged as one of the most important social and economic issues in our country. The COVID-19 Pandemic has accelerated some of these changes. Technology has driven innovative treatments and practices that affect both patient and providers. These technologies have ushered in new regulations, while also creating potential ethical dilemmas surrounding their use. Professional Case Managers need to advance their professional knowledge base to remain current and advocate for the best medically appropriate treatment options for the population they serve. The use of medical marijuana and other alternatives methods of care have unknown implications that reach beyond the treatment to the patient’s family, work and living situations. Health care equity remains a challenge for many groups, with innovative programs being developed and implemented for diverse patient community. The complex health situations of the patients Case Managers serve requires a constant need for the advancement of their knowledge base regarding new emerging trends. This conference will identify several challenges and provide the tools to better advocate for those with whom you serve.
Upon completion of the conference the attendees will have the knowledge to be able to:
- Identify the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Mental Health
- Identify challenges faced by a diverse patient community when accessing health care services and describe several strategies that can be implemented to help achieve health equity for these populations
- Identify issues with the current scope of practice regarding the use of marijuana for treatment of medical conditions and the subsequent diverse impact of misuse
- Identify the impact the COVID-19 Pandemic has had on the delivery of healthcare.
