Clinical Social Worker CM

Description

The Breast Center and Cancer Centers at the University of Colorado Hospital is transforming health care by not only providing exemplary patient-centered care but also through world-class clinical research trials and our revolutionary partnership with the CU School of Medicine in the development of the CARE Innovation Center, a comprehensive service that brings together health care and leading industry and start-up partners. We are proud to be the only hospital in Colorado with five consecutive Magnet designations and were recently ranked as the #1 Hospital in the State of Colorado by US News and World Report for the 11^th year in a row. We are also ranked as the #1 Employer in the State of Colorado by Forbes.

The Clinical Social Worker plays an integral role supporting both the Breast Center as well as the Multispecialty. This person will be responsible for working closely with our fantastic team of Psychologists, Physicians, Advanced Practice Providers, Nurses, Pharmacists, and Dieticians to help navigate the complex care coordination for our patients. A cancer diagnosis carries with it many issues and needs that the Social Worker can assist with, from counseling patients on how to cope with their diagnosis and treatment to helping provide financial and community resources that the patient and caregiver may not otherwise be aware of. The Social Worker assesses patients and caregivers and plans interventions to help them cope with social, emotional, economic and environmental problems. Working closely with the Psychology team, the Social Worker will be key to identifying and helping break down healthcare barriers.

The Social Worker will participate in case reviews to evaluate care and will consult with other healthcare members to promote, monitor and evaluate compliance with treatment plans. This person will play a key role in helping to identify appropriate resources such as lodging, transportation, social and/or spiritual services and financial assistance programs. The Social Worker will administer and interpret psychosocial functioning tests to help diagnose mental, emotional, behavioral, addictive and developmental disorders and disabilities and then work alongside our team to implement appropriate treatment plans.

The Clinical Social Worker is such an important member of our team and is truly key to helping our Cancer patients thrive and succeed despite their devastating diagnosis.
