ACMA Announces Case Manager Practice Analysis Study

The American Case Management Association (ACMA) and National Board of Case Management (NBCM) recently completed the 2016 Case Manager Practice Analysis Study to support the Accredited Case Manager (ACM™) credentialing examination, according to a press release.

The Case Manager Practice Analysis Study is a report that supports the ACM examination. It examines case management knowledge and tasks and highlights the importance of case management as a profession.

To earn the ACM credential, case managers must complete a certification exam that consists of a “multiple-choice component and a discipline-specific simulation component.” A 2015 ACMA survey indicates that approximately 66% of hospitals look for this credential when hiring case managers and approximately 52% prefer case managers with the ACM credential over other case management credentials.
