I work as an inpt palliative care social worker for a medical center. I work with patients referred for palliative care consults only. I hopefully enhance the hospital social workers' role but attempt not to duplicate efforts. I try to keep open communication and collaboration with each social worker on any given hospital unit in which I'm working. My primary responsibility is education and support related to disease process and goal setting.
