Professional Development

Taking The Next Step Forward

As case managers we are expected to continue our professional growth throughout our careers.  One way to enhance that growth is to become involved in a national organization of multidisciplinary healthcare leaders, led by CMSA, who are committed to improving the quality of transitions of care.  The National Transition of Care Coalition (NTOCC) was established specifically for this purpose.  

NTOCC’s mission is to raise awareness about transitions of care among health care professionals, government leaders and consumers to increase the quality of care, reduce medication errors and enhance clinical outcomes.  To this end, NTOCC develops consensus regarding recommended actions that can be taken by all participants in the healthcare system to improve transitions of care.  NTOCC strives to provide a method of communication to consumers for information when choosing healthcare options and also serve as a clearinghouse for tools and intervention resources to support providers and consumers to achieve safer and better transitions.

NTOCC Associate Membership is available to anyone interested in improving the quality of care transitions.  And provides downloadable tools that can be shared with your clients, peers and other healthcare team members from any area of practice.  These tools are available at no cost from their website.  And provide the case manager with excellent opportunities for client advocacy.

Take the next step in professional development.  Become an active advocate for your clients by supporting quality transitions of care.
