Case Management Focus

In this post, I want to introduce Dr. Claire Muselman, a colleague I met through WorkersCompensation.com, where I write a weekly column specifically for Nurse Case Managers who specialize in Workers Compensation.  

Dr. Claire Muselman is a distinguished worker's compensation figure renowned for her expertise, innovative thinking, and relentless dedication to transforming the risk management and insurance landscape. As the founder of DCM, a highly regarded consulting firm, she brings a unique blend of passion, purpose, and energy to her work. 

Dr. Muselman has written a 10-part series on Ethics in Worker's Compensation. Ethics is a required competency for nurse case managers, so I hope you will take the time to read the series and see how you can apply the information to your practice. I have listed the first five parts of the series. I will include the following five in a future post as soon as the following five are posted. Please let me know what you think. If you have questions for Dr. Muselman, you can email her directly at claire.muselman@gmail.com
