Military/VA/DoD (MVD) Day—Case Management: Collaboration Creates Innovation

CMSA is bringing this year’s MVD Day to you virtually to ensure greater accessibility for Military, VA, DoD, and DHA case managers affected by ongoing travel and leave restrictions. Join us on Saturday, November 1, 2025, for an engaging day of education, networking, and idea-sharing, all centered around this year’s theme: Case Management: Collaboration Creates Innovation.

Together, we’ll explore how collaboration drives new solutions and strengthens outcomes for those we serve. 7 CE hours pending.

Learn more and register HERE!

As case managers, you know that innovation in healthcare is constant. One of the most significant changes we’ve seen since the pandemic is the rise of “Hospital at Home” programs. These programs became a critical tool to help hospitals manage capacity, but with the CMS waiver that made them possible set to expire, what's next?

This informative webinar will provide you with the information you need to understand the future of this care model. Our expert presenters will walk you through:

• The status of the pending legislation that could allow these programs to continue.
• A data-driven look at outcomes: How do readmission and mortality rates for hospital-at-home patients compare to those in a traditional hospital?
• The bottom line: We'll break down the costs and reimbursement models for these programs.

This is a fantastic opportunity to stay ahead of the curve and understand how these changes could impact your practice and the patients you serve.

Meet the Speakers:

• Amy S. Chartier, BA, MSN, RN, CMGT-BC
• Margaret “Meg” Flynn, RN, BSN, CCM

Register today and be part of the conversation!

Now is the time to elevate your career, gain invaluable leadership experience, and make a lasting impact in case management!

CMSA National’s 2025 Call for Board Candidates is underway, and we’re looking for passionate leaders to join us. It’s time to take your volunteerism to the next level!
