General Summary

The Clinical Social Worker is an integral member of the Population Health Team and assigned ambulatory care practice, working closely with the clinical and administrative staff to enhance the delivery of patient care services along the continuum of care. The Social Worker identifies high-risk psychosocial factors of patients, helps primary care staff understand the influence of those factors upon the course of medical care and assumes care coordination responsibility of the patients.

In some cases, and as appropriate, the Clinical Social Worker may provide direct treatment/intervention to patients and families. In other cases, the Clinical Social Worker may work with the treating outpatient mental health clinicians, within and outside of our system, helping to ensure that treatment is focused and effective.

This position requires a high degree of leadership, flexibility, independence, and teamwork. The Clinical Social Worker must have strong communication and be an integral team player.

This includes the ability to engage easily with patients, caregivers, ambulatory practice staff, community resources, and the iCMP team. The Clinical Social Worker works with the care team to ensure patients are receiving the highest level of care, at the right time in the right setting, achieving an optimum quality of life for the patient, and reducing overall costs of care
