Dear Colleagues,

I hope you enjoyed the June 19th edition of Across My Desk where I recapped the events of the CMSA Annual Conference. If you missed it, don’t worry; all editions of Across My Desk are archived at CMRG.com, so feel free to go back and read the previous weeks’ news.

In order to learn more about your world, there will be a Questions of the Week somewhere in each week’s Blog. Your responses to the Question of the Week allow me to gain insight into your world, so please take the time to send me an answer to the question, your impression of the various news items, or just a hello. Each week I will post responses from the previous weeks question so others can see where the practice of Case Management stands on issues and trends shaping our world.

Feel free to share Across My Desk with your colleagues. I would like to see as many case managers as possible have access to the Across My Desk and the other resources offered by Dorland Healthcare Information. Your help in getting the word out is appreciated.

Last, I hope you find the information from Across My Desk informative and relevant to your practice. If you have news to share, email me at allewellyn@dorlandhealth.com and I will post in Across My Desk the following week. While you are on the site, take some time to check out the Case Management Resource Guide Online and, once on the site, register for MyCMRG.com so that you can build essential resources you can use to better care for your patients!

If you are signed up, you should have received the June issue of Case In Point Magazine as it was just mailed out. If you did get your issue, let me know your thoughts. If you did not get your issue, please email me with your mailing address and I will make sure you get a copy.

Have a good week!
