Bobbie Rosenkranz RN, CRRN, CCM, NMCC
CMSA's Award of Service Excellence (AOSE) 2006
Bobbi Rosenkranz, RN, CCM, CRRN, NMCC, of West Hartford,
Conn., was awarded the National Award of Service Excellence
(AOSE)*, an honor representative of the dedication and
commitment she has shown to patients and peers throughout her
case management career. As a Field Case Manager with Health
Net of the Northeast, Bobbi specializes in managing post-acute
services for members requiring inpatient admission to subacute or
rehab facilities.
With 12 years of nursing expertise, she understands the variable
factors that complicate medical treatment planning and effectively
communicates resolutions to these issues. Bobbi educates staff on
disease management protocols and facilitates communication at
all levels to allow safe transition through the care continuum.
In her previous position with Care Guide, she was responsible for
training and mentoring new field case managers. While
maintaining a full case load, she also works weekends as a home
health nurse providing nursing care and education to patients and
families. Active in the Connecticut CMSA chapter, Bobbi serves on its
Board of Directors and is Chair of the Membership Committee.
*The National Award of Service Excellence is given to a practicing case manager
who exemplifies the essence of CM — innovation, creativity, collaboration, and
resourcefulness! This award recognizes an "in-the-trenches," grassroots case
manager whose day-to-day CM practice has transformed the field and contributed
to the greater good — not only for their clients but also for their community.

Humpty Needed a Case Manager
By Susan DeFrancesco, RN, CCM - as printed in ADVANCE FOR NURSES July 1, 2009
I'd like to tell you about a conversation I have with my mother at least once every few months
over the past 20 years ... after I left hospital nursing.
It starts like this:
"So, Suzie, how's work?" (Yes, a 52-year-old Suzie.)
"Its great mom, I really like it, I like case management."
Then I steel myself for the next question, which goes something like this:
