Meredith Ferguson and HCIT Consulting Offer Online Course in Hospital Case Management Fundamentals

BEDFORD, Mass. - April 16, 2026 - PRLog -- HCIT Consulting's online course for RNs, physicians, therapists, billers, coders and anyone that interacts with case management has been released in partnership with Libman Education.

Written by Hospital Case Management authority, Meredith Ferguson, MSW, LCSW, Hospital Case Management Fundamentals provides the foundational knowledge every discipline needs to understand the basics of case management. It clearly explains what case managers are responsible for, why certain processes exist, and how different levels of care impact the patient journey.

"Most professionals interacting with case management are expected to understand it, but few are ever formally taught what it actually is and why it matters in the hospital setting. This course fills that gap," said course author Meredith Ferguson, MSW, LCSW, Principal Consultant and CEO, HCIT Consulting. "The value is simple: when people understand the purpose behind the process, they engage differently. Instead of working around case management, teams begin working with it to create a more aligned, informed, and effective interdisciplinary communication."

Hospital Case Management Fundamentals offers the following key benefits to learners:

• Builds a shared understanding of the role case management plays across the hospital. Explains the purpose behind key functions like utilization review, discharge planning, and care coordination, so every discipline can see how their work connects to the bigger picture.
• Creates alignment. Instead of siloed knowledge, course creates a common language across clinical and non-clinical teams. When everyone understands the "why" behind decisions, communication improves, friction decreases, and teams operate with greater clarity.
• Online, on-demand learning to work around busy professional's schedule.

"Libman Education is excited to partner with HCIT and offer this important information for billers, coders and other healthcare professionals. This course provides the case management context behind documentation, status, and medical necessity," said Susan Pepple, President of Libman Education.
