The recent sweeping changes in health care present social workers with a variety of new issues in ethics, practice, and policy. Social workers must deal with the human implications of such wider trends as lack of social support and multicultural poverty in urban areas, as well as the specifically medical issues of organ transplants, behavioral medicine, and managed care. Behavioral Social Work in Health Care Settings, the proceedings of the Seventh Doris Siegel Memorial Conference, presents a productive discussion of the key issues of ethics, policy, and practice that affect social workers and patients in this new environment.
An essential resource for social work professionals!As the focus of the health care industry shifts from predominantly hospital-based care to out-patient managed care, social workers must adapt to a new environment. Owing to changes driven by major advances in medical care knowledge, technology, and skill, new issues in ethics, practice, and policy have arisen. Behavioral Social Work in Health Care Settings addresses the impact that changing patterns in health care delivery have had (and will continue to have) on social work professionals, presenting a thoughtful collection of articles that combine research with practical experience.Behavioral Social Work in Health Care Settings looks at a range of critical issues facing health care social work professionals, including:
- building a social support system for the patient
- adopting a biopyschosocial approach to medical education
- evaluating social work interventions in health care
- addressing economic, quality-of-life, and ethical concerns of organ recipients
- maintaining a client-based focus on health care
- and also includes a study of the psychosocial needs of patients in a large urban medical centerRequired reading for social work administrators, practitioners, teachers, and students, Behavioral Social Work in Health Care Settings represents presentations from the Seventh Doris Siegel Memorial Colloquium, which called for the critical examination of changes in health care delivery brought about by financial pressures from government levels and private insurers.
