Commission for Case Manager Certification introduces its new
board officers for 2024-2025
MOUNT
LAUREL, N.J., July 17,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Commission for Case
Manager Certification®, (CCMC®), responsible for certifying over
50,000 case management and disability management professionals
nationwide, introduces its new 2024.2025 board officers today. As
the leading and longest-standing certifying body for case managers
and disability management specialists, the Commission actively
supports professionals in both fields.
"The Commission's leadership is committed to championing
consumer protection and professional excellence through robust
certification programs and comprehensive services that foster
continuous professional growth," said MaryBeth Kurland MPA, CAE,
ICE-CCP, CEO of the Commission.
Patricia Nunez, MA, CRC, CDMS, CCM, assumes the role of Chair of
the 14-member volunteer board, bringing a wealth of experience and
a strong commitment to advancing the field of case management.
Nunez most recently served as Director in the Claim Vendor
Management office at CNA, one of the largest U.S. commercial
property and casualty insurance companies. With a Bachelor of Arts
in Psychology from Rutgers University
and a Master of Arts in Rehabilitation Counseling from Seton Hall University, Nunez has held leadership
roles in various professional organizations, including the American
Counseling Association and the American Rehabilitation Counseling
Association. She has also contributed extensively to accreditation
and certification boards, including serving as a past Chair of the
Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification. Nunez is dual
certified as a CCM® and CDMS®, reflecting her commitment to
advancing case management standards.
In addition to Nunez, the Commission's 2024.2025 officers
are:
- Chair-Elect: Kendra Greene, MSN,
MBA/HCM, RN, CCM
- Secretary: Rebecca Fisco,
CDMS
- Treasurer: Anne Mercer, CIA,
CFE, CFSA
- Immediate Past-Chair: Ed Quick, MA, MBA, CDMS
One new Commissioner was also announced:
- New Commissioner: Margaret
Brown, DHA, MPH, BSN, RN, CCM
"I am honored to lead the Commission in its mission to advocate
for today's professional case manager and disability management
specialist," said Nunez. "In addition to our robust program and
services, the Commission illustrates our ongoing commitment by
conducting a formal Job Task Analysis for both the CCM and the
CDMS."
The Job Task Analysis, previously known as the Role and Function
Study, includes an industry survey completed every five years to
validate core knowledge areas essential to perform case management
functions, each of which are tested and certified through the exam
process. Updates to the CCM examination content outline, scheduled
for 2025, are based on community feedback and emerging trends in
the field.
The Commission uses this research-based approach to inform and
validate both its CCM® and CDMS® exams. These analyses provide a
blueprint of capabilities and functional roles performed by case
managers and disability management specialists. The Commission then
applies this data to ensure both credentials remain current and
relevant to policymakers, employers, and regulators.
"The Job Task Analysis is a cornerstone of our commitment to
ensuring that both the CCM and CDMS credentials remain rigorous and
relevant in today's dynamic healthcare landscape," said Nunez. "By
identifying and validating core knowledge areas essential for both
certifications, we uphold our standards of excellence and empower
professionals to meet the evolving needs of their clients and
organizations."
