Change is inevitable whether in personal or professional lives. Case management practice is always evolving on the basis of the dynamic nature of the U.S. health care environment. Effective case managers are those who possess an adaptive mind-set, recognize the importance to change to maintain success, and remain relevant. They also demonstrate a sense of accountability and responsibility for own learning, professional development, and acquisition of new skills and knowledge. This editorial discusses the nature of change and adaptation and presents key strategies for case managers to remain relevant and effective in dynamic practice environments.

Background: This study aims to illuminate the role of perceived crisis responsibility in shaping vaccination intention. By using the case of Hong Kong during the COVID-19 pandemic, we examined whether and how the allocation of crisis responsibility to the government predicts the public's intention to take vaccines, particularly by investigating its underlying mechanism.

Method And Results: Based on a population-representative sample of Hong Kong adults ( = 3188), our results indicated that (1) the attribution of crisis responsibility directly led to lower vaccination intention, and (2) it also had indirect influences on vaccination intention through trust and anger; specifically, the crisis attribution resulted in less willingness to take vaccines via a decreased trust in government health agencies.
