Homework: The Case Manager
Peter R Kongstvedt states, "The case manager is consistently challenged with managing fiscal constraints with patient expectations in light of orders and expectations articulated by the care team. This requires a highly skilled individual, certainly not a job for the faint of heart." The case manager can also play a role in identifying disease prevention strategies.
In 2 pages, develop a "job description" or job outline for a case manager. Consider disease prevention as part of the responsibilities of the role. Also consider education and skills. Feel free to set up your information in a table. Give your work a professional look, and be sure to include each of the following headings or sections:
o Facility name
o Department
o Position title
o Classification
o Position grade or level
o Shift and/or days of the week
o Reporting relationships
o Summary statement
o Responsibilities
o Required competencies or position requirements
o Physical requirements or working conditions
o Date written
o Date revised
For information on case managers, see your reading. You may also want to conduct research in the following websites:
o Case Management Society of America (CMSA)
o American Case Management Association (ACMA)
Do not simply reproduce a position description that already exists! This is plagiarism. Be creative. You will be evaluated on the information contained in the position description, as well as how professional your document looks.
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
o The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
o The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
o Also include a reference page. The Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
