Abstract

Change is inevitable whether in personal or professional lives. Case management practice is always evolving on the basis of the dynamic nature of the U.S. health care environment. Effective case managers are those who possess an adaptive mind-set, recognize the importance to change to maintain success, and remain relevant. They also demonstrate a sense of accountability and responsibility for own learning, professional development, and acquisition of new skills and knowledge. This editorial discusses the nature of change and adaptation and presents key strategies for case managers to remain relevant and effective in dynamic practice environments.
