Generating Outcomes for Hospice and Palliative Care Social Work Practice
Course Overview
Social workers face increasing pressure to provide outcome data to ensure high-quality client interactions and value to the palliative care process. Our practice emphasizes individualized assessment and planning, as well as interventions tailored to the person in the context of their lives and dynamic circumstances. Capturing meaningful outcome data based on palliative social work practice in palliative care has proven to be challenging. This is especially so when social workers provide service in a team context, and it can be difficult to tease apart the social work impact and dimensions of that care.
This webinar will describe a model for palliative social work practice evaluation based on single system design principles that can be easily adapted to this practice context, and yield outcome data that can be used to illustrate social work contributions to the team effort and client outcomes. Based on the principles of individualized problem identification and matching interventions to that issue, this method for evaluation matches social work practice demands well. It can be adapted for a wide variety of client situations, and encourage accountability for the palliative social worker in practice. This presentation will describe this model, demonstrate how to apply it to case scenarios, incorporate intervention approaches and social work theory, as well as including interactive sessions where participants can begin to plan and practice how to incorporate evaluation into their work.
