The Passion for Case Management: Why Do We Do It and How Does It Affect Us?L. greg Cunningham, MHACEo, American Case Management AssociationLittle Rock, AR

SeSSioN ABSTRACT: Ever wonder why you have chosen a career in case management? This session will explore the reasons professionals like you have chosen case management; the impact on your personal job satisfaction and life; and the need for self assessment. As case management professionals, we are challenged every day with problem resolution – it is a role that never ceases and is multi-faceted. Those who are drawn to case management are not satisfied with performing tedious “widget-making” tasks. The role requires an inner drive or passion to apply patient-centered solutions; minimize the stress effect of time-sensitive and emotionally charged issues; negotiate with multiple decision makers; and maintain commitment and energy from one case to the next. Audience responses and personal stories have been collected prior to the session to evaluate commonalities in choices, life impact and the answer to why we remain in this challenging profession.

LeARNiNg oBJeCTiveS:

1. Identify the common reasons people choose case management as a career 2. Correlate audience member life experiences and lessons learned to their own 3. Understand why and how peers continue to commit to the challenging roles

in case management4. Assess their intrinsic job satisfaction and their own passion/commitment to

being a successful and balanced case management professional
