Connect patients and families with community resources to address barriers such as housing, transportation, financial assistance, medication programs, legal services, and funeral/memorial planning.
-
Provide counseling and education to patients and families on coping with emotional and social challenges related to illness and treatment.
-
Collaborate with physicians and interdisciplinary team members to communicate significant psychosocial factors affecting patient health and treatment adherence.
-
Participate in development and ongoing evaluation of the physician's Plan of Care, ensuring social and emotional needs are addressed.
