WHY IS THE COMMISSION HOSTING THE SYMPOSIUM?


Care Coordination and Care Transitions
There is a significant challenge in health care today: A growing need for care
coordination, care transition and related care/case management services, and a
shrinking number of professionals ready to take on the role of case manager to step into
this gap.
Workforce Development Tools - Resources - Expert Knowledge
The Commission acknowledges the reality of this “perfect storm”-- the intersection of
the growing demand for professional case managers with the shrinking and aging supply
of qualified, knowledgeable case managers. It is in the interest of all case management
related organizations to address this in a proactive fashion. The Commission recognizes
these challenges are significant and require a unified effort by multiple organizations.
