Overview of the webinar

Turnover in hospital case management departments is a substantial challenge for the department leader. Providing a complete orientation, testing competency and setting a plan for retaining new case manages is tough.As a result, new RN case managers and/or social work case managers are left with inadequate preparation to provide best practice case management at the bedside. This webinar will provide both leaders and new case managers (within the first year) 10 tips that will set them in place to become the expert case managers of the future. These tips may have been missed in an orientation where the new staff member shadows experienced staff members but does not receive an organized and comprehensive orientation with assurance of competency at the end of the orientation period.

Who should attend?

  • Directors of Case Management
  • RN Case Managers
  • Social Work Case Managers
  • Directors of Social Work

Why should you attend?

New hospital case managers, whether they are RN case managers or social work case manager have challenges in getting a complete orientation that will allow them to become best-practice case managers in the future. Most hospitals do not have an organized orientation plan and do the best they can by allowing new staff to shadow experienced staff. This session will give you 10 key strategies as you are either in orientation, recently completing orientation or perhaps, never having a true orientation.
