1 Contemporary RN Case Manager Certificate Program April 14-16, 2015 Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council 222 South Riverside Plaza (SE Corner of Canal & Adams Streets) 19th Floor Conference Center PROGRAM OVERVIEW The Contemporary RN Case Manager Certificate Program is designed specifically to address the educational needs of registered nurses who are expanding their practices to include the essential roles of case management and care coordination within a dynamic healthcare system. This comprehensive two-and-a-half day training program will provide both new and experienced hospital RN case managers, discharge nurses, and nurse leaders with the knowledge needed to develop and implement practice change, practice to potential, and sustain a positive vision for the future during this period of rapid change/transition. The first day will focus on nurse case management scope and standards of practice, health policy, including evolving health care delivery systems, and health information technology in care coordination. On the second day, expert faculty will turn to patient-centered nurse case management, health literacy, health promotion and patient engagement, and collaborative team-based leadership concepts. The course will conclude with an overview of evidence-based strategies for effective home visiting, medication reconciliation, nursing assessment, diagnosis and care planning, and telephone case management. A small student-to-teacher ratio in a classroom setting will allow for individualized guidance, dialogue, and consultation throughout the program. Following the face-to-face session participants will be given access to the case-based Acute and Transitional Care Coordination supplemental online learning module, which addresses the RN case manager role in acute, transitional, and accountable care organization settings. Attendees who successfully complete both the face-to-face program and online learning module will be eligible to receive 27 nursing CEUs. TOPICS COVERED This program is consistent with the Affordable Care Act's requirements for system-wide transition to a patient-centered, coordinated, safe, cost-effective, and efficient health care delivery system; the Institute of Medicine s Future of Nursing Report; and national nursing and case management professional associations and certifying bodies. It addresses the following topics: Role of the registered nurse as contemporary case manager and care coordinator. Case management principles, strategies, concepts, ethics, and care coordination practice models. Healthcare systems management, quality and safety, collaboration and delivery. Evidence, ethics, health policy, and emerging opportunities and trends. Implementation strategies for nurse case managers in various practice settings.
