Six Additional CEU's Available by Attending the AAMCN Pre-Conference!
The AAMCN pre-conference will offer six additional CEU opportunities focusing on topics relevant to managed care nursing. Opening remarks will begin at 10:45 the morning of November 3rd, and the sessions will last from 11:00 am to 5:15 pm. There will be a 15 minute afternoon break, but remember to pick up breakfast before the sessions begin!
Sessions Include:
Complex Case and Medical Management Program
Do you work with members that have complex focused diagnostic conditions such as diabetes, congestive heart failure, high-risk pregnancy, hypertension, etc? Then you won't want to miss this session! This presentation will provide an overview and the process for implementation of a successful complex case and medical management program through proactive identification of at-risk members with multiple complex conditions.
Presented by: Pam Tropiano, VP, Health Services at CareSource & Cheryl Slagle, RN, CMCN, CCM, CCP, Director of Medical Management at CareSource
Continuum of Care: Providing Pathways to Optimal Outcomes
Are you starting to see a focused effort on the patient discharge process at your hospital? If so, that's because readmission reduction and prevention have been identified as high priority goals this year, as "potentially preventable readmissions" have been connected with several chronic diseases, such as congestive heart failure, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Learn about a successful way to decrease readmissions while increasing the quality of life/outcomes through utilizing a cost-effective, disease-specific continuum of care.
Presented by: Colleen Morley-Wines, RN, MSN, CMCN, Manager Care Management Department at Provena Mercy Medical Center
Embedding a Care Manager in the Physician Office
This presentation will show a successful health plan and health system partnership that was established to develop mechanisms to enhance the coordination of care in an integrated delivery system. Understand how, through enhanced coordination of care, both organizations can benefit through optimizing efficiency and improving quality of care to individuals served by both populations.
Presented by: Karen Michael, RN, MSN, MBA, VP, Clinical Services at Keystone Mercy Health Plan
Nursing Leadership and Advocacy
Have you been actively involved in the health policy arena? As the largest sector of the healthcare profession, nurses play a critical role in impacting healthcare design and delivery, particularly in the current healthcare reform environment. There is a significant need for nurses collectively to be more versed in policy competency, demonstrate the capacity to educate, skillfully advocate and enhance nursing leadership and provide venues to link practice, research and health policy.
Presented by: Diane Hogan, DNP, RN, MA, Director of Clinical Innovations at Humana Cares
Medical Management Nursing Clinical Ladder
Have you tried implementing a certification into a nursing clinical ladder at your organization? This is a process that is a lot more involved than it may seem! One organization has developed a clinical ladder to promote and reward a commitment to the practice of managed care nursing, using the Certification in Managed Care Nursing (CMCN) as a cornerstone in advancing experienced managed care nurses into supervisory roles. Don't miss the chance to learn how to implement this type of process into your organization!
Presented by: Cheryl Slagle, RN, CMCN, CCM, CCP, Director of Medical Management at CareSource
Chief Nursing Officer Meets Managed Care
Does your plan have a Chief Nursing Officer position? Not many health plans do...but, one has created and implemented the role of Chief Nursing Officer in the managed care environment. Learn about obstacles, insights and a reorganized set of priorities that have been set forth in the journey and process of implementing this type of new position in a health plan. Who knows, you might be the next CNO at your organization!
Presented by: Susan Kosman, Chief Nursing Officer at Aetna
AAMCN nurses will not want to miss this full day of insightful education that is applicable in your daily working environment! But, remember, there are two more full days packed with education about the clinical side of healthcare, business aspects, emerging biotechnology and genomics information and advancements in oncology!
