Case managers are central to delivering the highest value across
the health and welfare continuum. This year, the largest
professional organizations serving the case manager community, the
American Case Management Association (ACMA) and the Commission
for Case Manager Certification (CCMC), join forces to recognize the
critical role case managers provide and to announce the 2024
National Case Management Week theme: Encouraging, Engaging and
Empowering. By aligning around this common theme, ACMA and CCMC
reflect their joint definition of case management, released in
2022. “Professional case managers help navigate complex systems to
achieve mutual goals, advocate for those they serve, and recognize
personal dignity, autonomy, and the right to
self-determination.”Together, ACMA and CCMC encourage professional
case managers as well as those interested in the profession or care
coordination roles to begin planning for National Case Management
Week, Oct. 13-19, and raise awareness and recognition to those in
this professional practice. They also encourage stakeholders to
engage with the community and advocate for the expansion of access
to professional development opportunities and certification. Both
ACMA and the Commission recognize each other's educational programs
as part of their joint commitment in supporting certified case
management professionals."The Commission celebrates the vital role
of professional case managers as client advocates and health care
innovators," said MaryBeth Kurland, MPA, CAE, ICE-CCP, CEO of the
Commission. "Alongside ACMA, we are committed to empowering case
managers to pursue professional development opportunities that
elevate their practice and benefit their clients." ACMA and CCMC
join the health care community to celebrate the achievements of
these essential professionals and to promote the critical work they
do. “Case managers coordinate transitions of care, navigate complex
care, and advocate for those they serve. During National Case
Management Week, ACMA and CCMC want to highlight case managers,
recognize them and bring awareness to the services they provide,”
said L. Greg Cunningham, CEO of ACMA.Join ACMA and CCMC as they
