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.”

In 1-2 pages, develop a “job description” for a case manager. 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:

For information on case managers, see your textbook. You may also want to conduct research in the following websites:

• Case Management Society of America (CMSA) http://www.cmsa.org/
• American Case Management Association (ACMA) http://www.acmaweb.org/

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.
