WELCOME MESSAGE
Welcome
to the 2nd Nursing Case Management Conference!
With the rapid growth, recognition of the contribution of a Case Management Program and the emergence of locally experienced Case Managers, it is important that we acknowledge the diverse roles within the scope of a Case management Program.
We aim to demonstrate this diversity during the course of the conference and welcome you to interact with your industry colleagues.
A Case Management Program can cover five major areas:
- Clinical Care Coordination
- Transition of care to the correct level
- Quality outcomes planning and management to best meet patient care needs
- Utilization review: best use of available resources and contain healthcare costs
- Clinical Documentation Improvement
The conference will highlight the diversity within a Case Management program encompassing clinical, financial and psychosocial elements of care coordination and patient advocacy.
It will help you define your facilities most critical needs related to the core business whether they are related to care coordination, transition planning, resource management, readmission management or opportunities to improve clinical documentation.
Whatever your particular interests, we hope the conference will assist you to recognize the significance a quality outcome focused program can contribute not only to your facility but to the wider community we serve.
Welcome to this opportunity to interact and share experiences with colleagues.
