Care Management Social Work provides psychosocial/emotional support to patients and families. Social Work is a consult based service. Clinicians complete psychosocial assessments and identify appropriate discharge plans from a person centered approach and in alignment with policy and regulations. Social Work Clinicians provide brief clinical interventions as appropriate, assisting with resource navigation and coordination of care, screen for suicidality and engage in safety planning as appropriate, complete appropriate reports of harm based on state statutes, and coordinate with outside entities.
