Social work is a core component of interdisciplinary
primary care
![Page 10: Stacy Collins, MSW National Association of Social Workers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5c8ab/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“An essential component of patient-centered primary care practice is inter-professional teamwork. High-functioning teams require collaboration between physicians, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, clinical psychologists, case managers, medical assistants, and clinical administrators… ”
Department of Veterans Affairs, 2010
![Page 11: Stacy Collins, MSW National Association of Social Workers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5c8ab/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“ The primary care medical home is accountable for meeting the large majority of each patient’s physical and mental health care needs, including prevention and wellness, acute care, and chronic care. Providing comprehensive care requires a team of care providers. This team might include physicians, advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, social workers, educators, and care coordinators.”
AHRQ, 2010

Integrated Care:
Job Growth Area For Social Workers
• Affordable Care Act will accelerate this trend:
– Accountable Care Organizations
–Medicaid Health Homes
– Individual state initiatives (e.g., CA)
![Page 13: Stacy Collins, MSW National Association of Social Workers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5c8ab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Ample Opportunities for Clinical and Medical Social Workers in
Integrated Care Settings
• Specialty mental health• Behavioral health • Care coordination/case management• Patient education & wellness coaching
![Page 14: Stacy Collins, MSW National Association of Social Workers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5c8ab/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Workforce Development Challenges
• Clinically dominated profession
• Curriculum change happens slowly – SW schools have separate concentrations in health and mental health
• Field experiences - and employer demands - will drive curriculum change in this area
![Page 15: Stacy Collins, MSW National Association of Social Workers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5c8ab/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Workforce Development Challenges
To work effectively in integrated care settings, social work students need enhanced training on:
• brief intervention (de-emphasize L-T therapy)• crisis intervention• motivational interviewing• Substance use/addiction treatment• Primary care medical conditions (diabetes, HTN, etc)
![Page 16: Stacy Collins, MSW National Association of Social Workers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5c8ab/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Workforce Development Challenges
• Fast pace work environment - and space restrictions - in integrated care settings makes student supervision challenging
• Small pool of seasoned primary care social workers qualified to supervise students
• Shortage of bi-lingual social workers
