title: New association formed for hospital case managers.
abstract: A national board of case management professionals has established the Little Rock, AR-based American Case Management Association (ACMA), the first case management association specifically designed to address the needs and concerns of hospital and health system-based case managers. The formation of ACMA was motivated in part by the desire to foster closer cooperation between nurses and social workers in the acute care setting. The association's board and officers have equal representation from the nursing and social work professions. Members of ACMA will be able to take advantage of the following services: a job opportunities network, an information resource center, a director's forum, and a mentoring service. Annual membership dues are $135.
