Case management: heart and soul.
Dear Colleagues: As a seasoned case manager, I have had the opportunity to serve our specialty practice in the development of the definition of case management, the creation of our standards of practice, the evolution of our professional code of conduct, and, of course, the process of certification. Yet it is the stories of our shared time with our clients that truly define what we do and who we are and clarify our contribution to health care. It is by the telling of the story that we understand our roles, our behavior, and the value of our activities.
