Patient Initial Screening and Collaboration with Other Professionals
In cases where high-risk criteria are met, a social worker performs a comprehensive assessment of the patient. They assess a patient’s emotional, social, and financial requirements. The information is then shared with the members of the healthcare team to ensure the patient gets the best possible treatment.
Patient Counseling
It is often difficult to cope with the emotional response to illness for both patients and their families. Social workers provide necessary counseling on how to deal with the disease diagnosis and treatment process. They may also organize and lead support groups.
Patient Education
Medical social workers from iCare Home Health Care Services help educate patients and their families on community resources in Springfield, VA and give them more information about health insurance.
Planning a Hospital Discharge
When transferring a patient from a hospital to home, certain issues need to be addressed. The most important question is if the patient will get the proper care when discharged from the hospital. Medical social workers can connect patients with social service providers or arrange financial resources needed for paying for medical equipment.
