Evolution of Medical social work
Emergence of medical social profession in United States of America was influenced by demographic and cultural shift which include; increase in the number of aging population, increase in epidemic diseases such as HIV/AIDS and raised number of children born out wedlock who needed a lot of care. This necessitated much needed services such as, supportive counselling, psychotherapy and connecting patients with other services such insurance (Bender, 2006). Medical care emerged in 1980 and was intended to streamline healthcare system by reducing cost of assessing healthcare and at the same time improving quality of healthcare. The medical care required control of number of inpatients and also, the amount of time a patient can stay at the heath care unit. On the other hand, medical care has led to decrease in doctor’s contact time with the patients. Also, it has led to decrease in quality of health care as the program has discouraged long stay compromising well-being of the patients (Gihlert & Browne, 2012).
Medical profession is continually growing in USA. There are lots of demands of quality services that surpass the number of available medical social workers. However, it is good to note that, the profession is faced with challenges (Engel, 2012). Most of America is not insured that make it difficult to assess quality health care. Going in future, there is need of reforming the health care system in USA. This will help to improve the quality of the heath care and at the same time address issues of increasing cost of assessing affordable health care. There is growing concern of increase in number of American without the insurance coverage. On top of that, there is need to address issues of contact time by doctors (Kontos, 2011).

I believe you were referring to managed care when you were discussing medical care. Managed care has definitely changed the health care services provided and even change mental health services provided all do to funding. The United States health care system could definitely benefit from reform. Your post points out how insurance and funding is what drives the quality and amount of care a patient receives. I find it upsetting that people do not receive the quality of medical care they deserve as a result of ultimately money. With all the budget cuts happening in health care settings, social work departments face cuts, which is affecting clients.
