The Case Management Society of America (CMSA) has called for public comments as it revises its industry standards. The Standards of Practice for Case Management, first launched in 1995 and last amended in 2002, contain voluntary guidelines on care and performance.

For the first time, the CMSA is also asking for input from outside of its traditional member base, inviting social workers, the military, and others to give their views.

CMSA president Peter Moran, RN,C, BSN, MS, CCM, said in a press statement that the organization needed to keep pace with changing times.

"The CMSA Standards of Practice are the cornerstone of my practice," he said. "As practice evolves over time, it is imperative that we visit and update them to make sure they are reflective of current practice, so they can offer guidance and direction to the practicing case manager."

You can have your say at the CMSA Web site. The public comment period ends on November 26, 2007.
