CMSA is committed to supporting policy that affects case
management but can’t do it alone. Efforts to enact change to improve our
members’ ability to help their patients and families achieve the best health outcomes
possible are best influenced at the local or state level. Communicating not
only to the national legislature, but state/local policymakers as well is critical
in making the connections necessary and building lasting relationships to
support our needs. It will take everyone working together to truly ensure that
the voice of the case manager is heard and that we have a seat at the table for
any decision made that affects the patient and their family.
Join a CMSA Public Policy Chair Susan Plough as she reviews
the importance of grassroots advocacy, defines the process for success, and
shares real-life examples of what to do…and what not to do.
OBJECTIVES:
- Define the policy making process and understand its importance to case management
- Explain how individuals can influence policy on the state/local level
- Identify strategies on how to best affect policy changes for improved patient outcomes
