4. National Case Management Week October 13-19, 2019
Background
National Case Management Week was established to bring recognition to the field of case management to industry professionals, administration, patients, their families, and the general public. Additionally, we want to recognize individuals working within case management (YOU!!!) To say thank you and celebrate your contributions to case management, your organization, and the lives of the patients and families you help every day.

5. Importance of Recognition for Case Management Services
The goal of NCMW is to create an opportunity for organizations, managers and teams to acknowledge the unique role of case managers (and those who support this process) in the delivery of high quality and cost-effective health care services.
Recognizing case managers will result in an increased understanding of the CM role. The more people that know who you are and what you do, the more people will benefit from your role.
Greater recognition for the effectiveness of case management practice will assist leadership in hospitals/health systems in assessing the quality of their structures and processes to determine if their case management programs are fully supported. Make your case!
