Hello, everyone, it is important to understand the roles of a medical social worker. Many services are provided by the social worker, but one role that I find rewarding and inspiring is the counseling role. It is rewarding to give someone hope when they feel overwhelmed and hopeless. Advocacy is another role that I find rewarding because you are the voice for the voiceless. I look forward to reading your posts this week.

Work #1 Answer in APA format with 2 citations per paragraph treat each answer as a separate work or file and each work or file need separate references. Support your posts with specific references to the Learning Resources given in this work. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references. Treat each work or answer as a separate work and each work needs separate references. Post a description separately of each of three primary roles of medical social workers that you consider to be inspiring and rewarding (. Explain why. Explain how these roles directly support patients and their families. Explain how these roles might directly address three issues related to patient care (e.g., noncompliance with treatment regimen). Then, describe specific interventions (e.g., patient education to improve treatment compliance) you might implement when performing your primary roles to resolve the three specific issues you selected. Illustrate these issues and interventions with examples (e.g., patient education or health literacy to reinforce treatment regimen).

Primary Roles of Medical Social Workers (title of work #1)

(NOT A WORK< READ ONLY) Medical social workers assume various distinct roles in their practice. These roles range from educator and advocate to counselor, liaison, and mediator. The generalist intervention model (GIM) informs medical social work practice, with these roles reaching across each stage of the model. Medical social workers view patients and their problems in context, combine practice skills and techniques that meet the individual situation, and implement interventions across the multiple systems present in the patient’s life. The interventions are implemented on a continuum ranging from micro to mezzo to macro levels.

It is important to be mindful of the fact that patients are not the only people with whom medical social workers practice. It is not uncommon for medical social workers to intervene with family members and support caregivers, cooperate with members of the community, and collaborate with other health care professionals as well.

To prepare for this Discussion, think about the wide array of services provided by a medical social worker. Consider the roles, responsibilities, and scope of practice of the medical social work profession. Examine the medical social work practice skill within the GIM.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources and the current literature using appropriate APA format and style.

Discharge Planning (title of work #2)

(NOT A WORK READ ONLY) One of the most common terms heard in inpatient hospital settings throughout the country currently is “length of stay.” This essentially refers to how long a patient occupies a bed in a hospital. The objective of some hospitals is to minimize the length of stay in an effort to contain costs. Due to most hospitals’ priority of keeping length of stay as short as possible, discharge planning begins upon admission to the hospital. It is a process that capitalizes on social worker’s engagement, assessment, and planning skills.

An effective discharge plan ensures that a patient is being discharged to a safe environment that is conducive to healing and recovery. In some cases, this is different from the environment they were living in prior to the hospitalization. In addition, the discharge plan must adequately meet the patient’s medical needs outside of the hospital environment. This can include coordinating follow-up medical appointments and appropriate therapies, ordering medical equipment, arranging home health care, placing the patient in a skilled nursing facility, and linking the patient to supportive community resources. Constructing a discharge plan requires hospital social workers to collaborate with the patient, his or her family, caregivers, medical team, and community resources.

To prepare for this Discussion, think about the components of discharge planning and the individuals involved in discharge planning. Consider medical social work practice skills within the generalist intervention model as discussed in Discussion 1 this week. Examine the factors involved in creating a discharge plan for a patient in a hospital setting. Consider the specific roles a medical social worker plays in creating a discharge plan.

Work #2 Discharge Planning

Answer in APA format with 2 citations per paragraph treat each answer as a separate work or file and each work or file need separate references. Support your posts with specific references to the Learning Resources given in this work. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

Identify and explain the key factors that must be considered in the discharge planning process. Explain the roles ( more the 2 roles) of a medical social worker in creating a discharge plan. Be specific. Then, explain how discharge planning incorporates all of the practice skills in the generalist intervention model. Finally, explain challenges a medical social worker might face working with other professionals involved in discharge planning.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources and the current literature using appropriate APA format and style.

Hello, as a former discharge planner, I can attest to the importance of discharging patients to a safe environment. The environment can impact outcomes and can put the patient at-risk . Discharge planning requires a thorough knowledge of community resources and should begin immediately upon admittance. I was taught to begin discharge when the patient was admitted, and I believe this is important to the process. I look forward to reading your posts.
