The Case Management Society of America and Dorland Healthcare Information are pleased to share with you all of the entries received from our First Annual Case Management Writing Contest. Congratulations to our winners and to everyone else who participated in this event.
Like this year’s winners who received any one of four prizes — a free conference registration to the Case Management Society of America’s Annual Conference and Expo in Denver, Colo.; all four volumes of the Case Management Resource Guide; a complete set of the Dorland’s Healthcare Website Guide; or a one-year membership to the Case Management Society of America — your submission to next year’s contest could be selected! So put on your thinking cap, sharpen your pencil, and watch for future details about the 2nd Annual Writing Contest from Dorland Healthcare Information.
Until then, enjoy these stories — and keep them coming. Sharing our successes by articulating the lessons we learn helps secure case management’s role as an essential part of any healthcare team. Send your “Lessons Learned” to Editor-in-Chief Anne Llewellyn at allewellyn@dorlandhealth.com for a chance to be published in Case in Point and to improve the practice of case management.
