New England Health Center Celebrates National Case Management Week 2013
New England Health Center, a renowned skilled nursing facility located in Sunderland, Massachusetts, is proud to partner with the Case Management Society of America in celebration of the Ninth Annual National Case Management Week.
- (1888PressRelease) October 17, 2013 - National Case Management Week, ranging from October 13-19th, is intended to applaud the work of case managers and their role in the continued care of patients. Case managers are responsible for patient education, overseeing transfer and discharge procedures and verifying that insurances are active, among a host of other things.
The celebration extends to all members of the healthcare community, including hospitals and managed care organizations, to name a couple. During National Case Management Week, these entities sponsor educational events to raise awareness of case managers and their vital role in the care of patients and residents.
The work that case managers do often overlaps with the work of social workers, who are more publicly recognized and therefore the work of case managers often goes unnoticed. It is in this spirit of gratitude and respect that the healthcare community celebrates Case Management Week.
"We're so excited for Case Management Week here at New England Health Center because we love and respect all of the case managers that we work with. They inform our patients of their financial options and help them make informed and smart decisions regarding their own care, keeping them in charge of the care they receive. Not many people know of the vital job that case managers play in healthcare delivery, and in that spirit we hope to spread the word," said Denise Corrin, Director of Marketing at New England Health Center.
