CMSA's newly revised Standards of Practice for Case Management (revised 2010) is a dynamic and timely document which establishes formal written standards of practice from a variety of disciplines.
The Standards of Practice for Case Management were first introduced by the CMSA in 1995 and then revised in 2002. We are pleased to offer the Standards of Practice for Case Management , 2010 revision, which provides voluntary practice guidelines for the case management industry. The Standards of Practice are intended to identify and address important foundational knowledge and skills of the case manager within a spectrum of case management practice settings and specialties
The 2010 Standards reflect many changes in the industry, which resonate with current practice today. Some of these changes include the following:
- Minimizing fragmentation in the health care system
- Using evidence-based guidelines in practice
- Navigating transitions of care
|
- Incorporating adherence guidelines and other standardized practice tools
- Expanding the interdisciplinary team in planning care for individuals
- And improving patient safety
|
We believe that these are all important factors that case managers need to address in their practices. The 2010 Standards of Practice contain information about case management practice, including definition, practice settings, roles, functions, activities, case management process, philosophy and guiding principles, as well as the standards and how they are demonstrated.
