Case Management Ethics - Update for 2025

A new generation of healthcare realities challenges case and disability management’s ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, fidelity, justice, and nonmaleficence in:

• Aligning with industry diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice imperatives
• Balancing technology innovation with client and case management access
• Prioritizing workforce mental health and moral distress

Each of these situations mandates proactive scrutiny by the workforce. They also cause case and disability managers to carefully juggle the balls of personal, clinical, and organizational ethics. As a result, the questions beckon:

• What is a case manager’s ethical duty when personal values conflict with patient autonomy? 
• What happens when employer mandates counter the industry’s established resources for guidance?
• Where should a case or disability manager’s ethical compass point?

Engage in an educational experience that empowers case and disability managers and provides strategic guidance to set their ethical practice trajectory firmly.
