The Triangle Chapter of Case Management Society of America (CMSA)
is a local non-profit
organization that was incorporated in January 1998, and is affiliated
with the national CMSA organization.
The founding members began with the idea that the Triangle area
of North Carolina needed an organization
that would benefit the many health care professionals who serve
a case management role, and therefore
created the affiliation that represents these professionals within
a 60-mile radius of Raleigh, North
Carolina.
The goals of Triangle Case Management Society of America are to:
- Assist in providing the means by which persons and firms offering services or products within or to the health
..care case management profession may voluntarily coordinate their efforts to advance the profession
in all
..respects.
- Provide the opportunity for the exchange of experience and opinions through discussion, study and
..publications.
- Promote the professionalism, science, and recognized scope of the practice of case management.
- Provide a forum and assist in unifying professionals actively engaged in case management.
- Educate its members, health care delivery system, payer communities, and the public in the advancement and
..improvement of quality care, professionalism, cost/benefit effectiveness, and
..health benefits of case management.
- Develop and encourage consistent professional standards of performance, competence, service and conduct
..of professional case managers and those supporting case management.
- Promote the public stature and respect accorded the case management practice while meeting the best
.. interests of the practitioners and the public.
Triangle CMSA organizes two educational programs a year. A two-day
Fall Conference held in August and a one-day Spring Conference held
in March. Local and National speakers present the latest information
regarding the evolving profession of case management. These conferences
provide an opportunity to obtain approximately 6-7 CEU's per day.
