CMSA SETS LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES

CMSA has announced its legislative priorities for the coming year. These priorities have been carefully formulated by the CMSA Public Policy Committee, whose mission is to serve as the communication and educational resource for health policy issues related to the professional practice of case management. This includes helping legislators and policy makers to better understand the role case management plays in healthcare delivery and informing the membership about public policy matters relevant to case managers. This group of dedicated CMSA members has met over the past year to discuss current and future issues that affect the membership and will require monitoring in order to protect case managers, their patients and their patients’ families. In the fast-changing healthcare landscape, the CMSA Public Policy Committee has determined three main areas of focus.
