Are you curious how your case manager's salary and benefits compare to colleagues nationwide? We are too!

As part of CMSA's State of the Industry survey series conducted annually, the Salary & Trends focus was last completed in 2022. As we move to a post-health emergency world, it will be insightful to see the state of the professional practice of case management two years later!

To have the most comprehensive information available, CMSA has teamed up with the Case Management Institute (CMI) to conduct the Case Management Salary and Trends Survey.

Regardless of practice setting, area of expertise, or years of experience, we invite all case managers to contribute to this significant body of research. Please allow 5 minutes to complete the survey.

The Case Manager's Guide to Antimicrobial Stewardship

Wednesday, February 21 at 12 p.m. Eastern

Pre-Approved CEs: 1 Hour RN and CCM

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is increasingly common and is primarily due to the overuse and misuse of antibiotics.

As part of the multidisciplinary team, case managers can support AMS by educating patients on the dangers of overuse and misuse of antibiotics, facilitation and coordination of needed diagnostics to determine if antibiotics are indicated, ensure patients understand their antibiotic prescription and are adherent with the treatment protocol, and collaborate with all members of the interdisciplinary team for optimal health outcomes.

Presenter: Rebecca Perez, MSN, RN, CCM, FCM

Free to members and non-members.

"Stop Telling Me About Self-Care!" Case Managers and Self-Care Fatigue

Wednesday, March 27 at 12 p.m. Eastern

Pre-Approved CEs: 1 Hour RN and CCM

The ever-increasing demands of the healthcare industry, whether one works in-patient or out-patient, in the acute or chronic setting, can make the concept of self-care seem hollow and out of reach. With a critical eye, participants will explore the idea of self-care and how it came to prominence. Common self-care strategies will be reviewed, as will their efficacy in the modern working lives of case managers. The presentation will unpack the healthcare delivery system and the ways in which it promotes self-care of staff while simultaneously imposing barriers that can thwart sustainable self-care practices.

Presenter: Sarah Stevenson, LICSW, NSW-C, CCM

Free to members. $40 for non-members.
