Developed By

To develop Health Plan Compass, ACMA assembled a group of subject matter experts (SMEs) and industry leaders. These individuals developed the outline of the knowledge and competencies case managers in a health plan or ACO setting need to possess to be effective. ACMA then worked with these SMEs to create courses and assemble them into a comprehensive interactive curriculum designed for the adult learner.

Compass training is a comprehensive program designed to provide standardized training for case management staff. It is not intended to be a preparatory course for the Accredited Case Manager (ACM) Exam or a stand-alone preparatory resource.

Compass continuing education (CE) contact hours are generally accepted by most professional nursing and social work organizations and state board of nursing and social work. ACMA has made substantial efforts to obtain appropriate providerships for CE offerings and many licensing authorities allow for some form of CE reciprocity. However, ACMA does not warrant that all professional organizations or licensing authorities will accept its CE contact hours. If in doubt, individuals are advised to contact their professional licensing organizations or licensing authorities to confirm acceptance of these contact hours. Click here to learn more.
