{"product_id":"9781556457289","title":"Social Work: Strength-Based Practice in Hospital Case Management","description":"\u003cp\u003eSocial workers and case managers work to identify resources to meet primary social welfare needs; at their core, they demonstrate key skills of assessing, brokering, engaging, partnering, risk managing, and problem solving. However, many case management managers and directors need help understanding the social work done in their departments as well as pinpointing what support or mentoring social workers need. Case management directors don't always know how to align social workers and RN case managers to maximize care coordination, discharge planning, and other case management functions for patients. To make matters worse, there is a lack of resources for managing social work programs and the activities that are shared between case managers and social workers. Social Work: Strength-Based Practice in Hospital Case Management aims to raise awareness about the importance of social workers in hospital case management departments. Social work is often misunderstood within the context of the overall healthcare setting as its definition, roles, and expectations vary from one facility to another. This book brings together the elements of the social work profession so that organizations can recognize the ways social workers can contribute to goals in quality and revenue. It offers practical solutions for capitalizing on the strengths of social work and demonstrating measurable outcomes. It also offers suggestions for developing and supporting essential synergies between social work and multidisciplinary teams.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hcpro, a Division of Blr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49786952712432,"sku":"9781556457289","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781556457289","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
