Topic: Medical social work



  
 Ida M. Cannon: Founder of Medical Social Work
Convinced that medical practice could not be effective without examining the link between illness and the social conditions of the patient, Cannon diligently worked at creating the field of medical social work.
She declared in her deeds and words that there should be within the hospital someone definitely assigned to represent the patient's point of view and to work out with the physician an adaptation of the medical treatment in the light of the patient's social condition.
Cannon saw the emergence of medical social work as part of the Progressive movement, because it sought to humanize medical practice.

 Healthcare Social Work
Health care social workers help patients and their families cope with chronic, acute or terminal illness and handle problems that may stand in the way of recovery or rehabilitation.
Some of the functions of a medical social worker are counseling, psychosocial assessments, discharge planning, crisis intervention, behavioral intervention, advocacy and referrals.
· Discharge planning – social workers work with patients and their families to anticipate and plan for health care and resource needs, address financial concerns, and identify community resources to assist the patient upon discharge from services.

 Medical Social Work
Social Work also helps patients resolve and emotional issues around their hospitalization, and "bridge the gap" with continuing therapy needs.
It’s a unique recipe for each patient – medical social work plays the lead coordinating role, but therapists, doctors, patient and family all have a say about continuity of care, as the patient transitions from hospital to home.
Too many cooks don’t spoil the outcome when it comes to ensuring McLaren’s Medical Rehabilitation Center patients are discharged with all anticipated medical, emotional and social needs set in motion.

 social work history
However, Medical social work did not become an area of practice until Dr. Richard Cabot introduced a medical social services department at Massachusetts General Hospital in 1905.
he field of psychiatry was receptive to adding social workers to its teams, thereby creating a new specialty in social casework, psychiatric social work.
Concerned by the hospital's lack of post- hospital care, Dr. Cabot and his colleague Ida Cannon became effective advocates for the introduction of social service departments into medical settings.

 PhpWiki - Medical Social Divide
He writes that many pain medications will no longer be funded.
There are years of problems about money and being unable to get adequate medical care, even if they could afford it, and having to work and care for the disabled child.
He says, "And only generic drugs will be available to treat poor kids with life-threatening conditions such as cystic fibrosis, cancer or asthma, and no prescription antihistamines or gastric-acid reducers for anyone of any age." That is old news.

 Medical Social Work with Inpatients
We review or screen patients when they are first admitted, to identify those patients that likely will need social work intervention to help with their discharge.
Other issues involving the patient's or other family members social or emotional functioning may need to be addressed.
Sometimes the patients present with particular needs, such as loss of income as a result of illness or injury, or concerns about a patient's increased need for care at home.

 Medical Social Work & Discharge Planning
Our medical social workers have master's degrees and our discharge planners have bachelor's degrees in nursing.
Sorting out physical and emotional problems due to an illness and making sense of information and choices can be overwhelming.
All have extensive experience and skills in assisting people within the medical system.

 Amazon.ca: Books: Casebook: Medical Social Work (Allyn & Bacon Casebook Series)
The contributors of this casebook combined many decades of social work experience and teaching to create an opportunity for students to study and analyze how practitioners think about practice.
This casebook provides students with personal and intimate glimpses into the thinking and actions of experienced practitioners working with clients with medical issues.
The authors move beyond the belief that practice involves finding “correct” interventions to solve client problems, and instead invite students to review and challenge the work of others to help them understand what informs important practice decisions with real clients in real practice settings.

 AllRefer.com - gay-rights movement (Social Reform) - Encyclopedia
A number of groups formed to work for the repeal of laws prohibiting consensual homosexual conduct; for legislation barring discrimination against gays in housing and employment; and for greater acceptance of homosexuals among the rest of the population.
By 1999 the antisodomy laws of 32 states had been repealed or declared unconstitutional; in all but five of the remaining states, the antisodomy laws applied to both heterosexuals and homosexuals.
While there was some organized activity on behalf of the rights of homosexuals in the first half of the 20th cent., the modern gay-rights movement in the United States is usually said to have begun with the Stonewall riot (June, 1969) in New York City, which resulted from a police raid on a gay bar.
