NASW & CMSA Seek Comments on Caseload Concept Paper & Caseload Matrix (7/7/08)
The health care system in the United States is complex and multidisciplinary.
The constant growth, demands and changes in health care have
had a serious impact on the viability and need for social workers
in all areas and settings. As a result 400 social work
leaders attending the 2005 Social Work Congress adopted an imperative
to “elevate the public’s awareness of the efficacy
and cost-effectiveness of social work practice in healthcare.” NASW
has launched a Health Initiative to expand its policy
work and public education activities in this area.
