CMSA revises standards of practice

The Case Management Society of America is issuing its first revisions of its Standards of Practice for Case Management, originally developed in 1995.

The revised standards are available for public comment through May 15. The organization used key representatives of the health care industry to update the standards of practice in 2001 and 2002.

The board of directors of CMSA began a project to revise the standards in 2001 to more accurately reflect the practice settings, process, and performance of case management in today’s health care environment. The update initiative was begun in July 2001 with the first draft completed in the fall.

The full draft of the standards is available at www.cmsa.org.
