Understanding Accreditations & Certifications!
Within the field of case management, there are two very important, yet distinct and separate, organizations: the Case Management Society of America (CMSA) and the Commission for Case Manager Certification (CCMC). Because of their overlapping areas of interest, yet complementary missions, we believe it is desirable and informative to provide an explanation of the roles and relationships of each organization.

Accreditations |
|||||||||||||||
| In the United States, accreditation is voluntarily sought by businesses, organizations and institutions as a means of establishing credibility in their market. It is about identifying what it means to provide quality services and setting required standards of operation to provide those services within a specific industry. The accrediting agency then issues official authorization or approval to those persons or entities that are in compliance with those standards. Accreditation is the highest level of credentialing available. Click on the following links to learn more about the variety of accreditation programs offered by each institution:
