About the role
Discover Your Career at Emory University
Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. We welcome candidates who can contribute to the excellence of our academic community.Description
The Center for Bleeding & Clotting Disorders of Emory is one of two CDC-designated treatment centers in Georgia providing care for individuals with inherited bleeding disorders: hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, platelet function defects, and other rare bleeding disorders. The clinic is also the largest in the Southeastern US. While the clinic caseload is small (+/- 800 patients), it continues to grow as adolescents transition from pediatric care at CHOA and patients live and thrive into older adulthood with treatment advancements. Care coordination is intensive, and the multidisciplinary care model is the hallmark of bleeding disorders care in the ~140 Hemophilia Treatment Centers (HTCs) nationwide. HTCs follow patients with bleeding disorders across the lifespan.
The social worker has a vital and unique role in the HTC. Our social work team collaborates with providers and other members of the team to triage, coordinate, and consistently manage patient care. Social workers assume the role of a health care liaison between internal providers and community providers. Our social workers are essential to improving outcomes for our patients and critical to the overall success of our center. The specialized, coordinated, and costly nature of clinical treatment contributes to access barriers which are navigated by the social worker, the clinical team, and community outreach partners. The social worker provides support, referrals and resources to support transitions across the lifespan: from adolescence to managing care independently in adulthood, navigating transitions in physical function and residency, hospital admission and rehabilitation, and maintaining access to treatment in the event of unplanned life events or insurance interruptions.
Studies have shown higher rates of anxiety, depression, pain, and PTSD among people with bleeding disorders than among the general population. The clinic recently implemented an evidence-based model, Collaborative Care Model (CoCM), to address these needs. In this SWII role, the social worker will provide counseling and case management services as needed to patients who meet criteria and engage for treatment. The role includes weekly staffing with HTC providers and psychiatric consultant to support symptom management.
The social worker is expected to support the in-person multidisciplinary clinic at EUHM on Wednesdays and our outreach clinic in Lagrange 1-2 times per year. The remainder of the week consists of working in-office or remotely based on employee preference and team needs. Continuing education for social workers is offered annually at State, Regional and national bleeding disorder meetings. Opportunities for research and presentation exist in these settings as well.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Provides problem-oriented and detailed patient assessments, emotional support, psychosocial counseling, and discharge planning.
- Assists in a multidisciplinary approach to patient care.
- Develops treatment plans, provides patient and family education and serves as a professional resource.
- Provides individual, family and group therapies.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
- A Master's of Social Work from an accredited school of social work.
- Licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia or license eligible.
- Four years of social work experience is required.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- LCSW, experience providing brief counseling interventions in medical settings
