Case Management Practice Improvement Award
CMSA’s Case Management Practice Improvement Award and Case Management Research Award recognize an individual, group, or organization that uses findings from a research or quality/performance improvement (QI/PI) project for innovation in the advancement of case management practice and/or improved client outcomes.

This national award is given to a practicing case manager who exemplifies the essence of CM — innovation, creativity, collaboration, and resourcefulness. This award recognizes an "in-the-trenches," grassroots case manager whose day-to-day CM practice has transformed the field and contributed to the greater good — not only for their clients but also for their community.

The recipient of the annual award is an individual whose notable contributions and exceptional dedication have provided a positive vision for the future of CM. This prestigious award recognizes those leadership qualities, both professional and personal, that have encouraged others to develop their own gifts of leadership and whose continuing commitment has shaped the industry.
