The Gap: Survey Says... “Care management competencies lack an educational pathway.” THE PURPOSE To continue the profession of nursing as the leader of care management and population management— balancing cost, quality, and access. Clinical, financial, and psychosocial theory and experience to be successful in these roles.

Phase One Implementation University of Utah developed Program of Study and Course Objectives for: –Post Baccalaureate Certificate –Master’s track (approved by Utah Board of Regents and UofU Academic Senate)

Phase Two Expanding to Interdisciplinary Industry identified expert care managers U of U enrolled first Cohort at the U of U from these industry experts Expand the certificate to an Interdisciplinary status for nurses, social workers and other healthcare professions

Phase Three Sharing with other State Universities Programs of Study and Course Objectives for Certificate Program shared with partnering Universities. Partnering Universities taking POS and course approvals through their own institution processes. Partnering universities collaborating on shared faculty load, payment from student to teaching institution per course.

Best Practices Already connected groups – Education and Industry healthcare leaders already meeting in one forum Using what we have – The CON already had structure of certificate and Master’s programs in other specialties Recognition and Support – Recognize, call-out, support the progress noted

Challenges Continued connection with partners for next steps Identifying other strengths in other facilities to support the goals
