Social Work Service Practice Guidelines: Psychosocial Assessment; PsychosocialTreatment; Discharge Planning; Current Literature

摘要

These Standards of Practice delineate the minimum level of care that should beprovided by the assigned Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) social worker, and should serve as the basis from which other services would be added, depending on the unique situation of the client. Integral in the development of these standards has been the alignment of these steps with the requirements of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. Three primary patient care activities are addressed in this publication: Psychosocial Assessment, Psychosocial Treatment, and Discharge Planning.
