Abstract: In 2016–2017, a large Swedish hospital introduced a mobile team of asylum social workers to work with asylum-seeking and undocumented patients.
Based on interviews with the asylum social workers and the theoretical concepts of jurisdiction and professional discretion, this study explores how they experienced their work and developed their specialist competence and strategies for health social work with migrants. The findings show that they not only relieved staff and supported patients and relatives but also systemised the knowledge about health social work with migrants and created a professional specialty with a socially, rather than medically, defined group of patients.

Abstract: Introduction: Emergency physicians are in a unique position to impact both individual and population health needs. Despite this, emergency medicine (EM) residency training lacks formalized education n the social determinants of health (SDoH) and integration of patient social risk and need, which are core components of social EM (SEM). The need for such a SEM-based residency curriculum has been previously recognized; however, there is a gap in the literature related to demonstration and feasibility. In this study we sought to address this need by implementing and evaluating a replicable, multifaceted introductory SEM curriculum for EM residents. This curriculum is designed to increase general awareness related to SEM and to increase ability to identify and intervene upon SDoH in clinical practice.
Methods: A taskforce of EM clinician-educators with expertise in SEM developed a 4.5-hour educational curriculum for use during a single, half-day didactic session for EM residents. The curriculum consisted of asynchronous learning via a podcast, four SEM subtopic lecture didactics, guest speakers from the emergency department (ED) social work team and a community outreach partner, and a poverty simulation with interdisciplinary debrief. We obtained
pre- and post-intervention surveys. Results: A total of 35 residents and faculty attended the conference day, with 18 participants completing the immediate post-conference survey and 10 participants completing the two-month delayed, postconference survey. Post-survey results demonstrated improved awareness of SEM concepts and increased confidence in participants' knowledge of community resources and ability to connect patients to these resources following the curricular intervention (25% pre-conference to 83% post-conference). In addition, post-survey assessment demonstrated significantly heightened awareness and clinical consideration of SDoH among participants (31% pre-conference to 78% post-conference) and increased comfort in identifying social risk in the ED (75% pre-conference to 94% post-conference). Overall, all components of the curriculum were evaluated as meaningful and specifically beneficial for EM training. The ED care coordination, poverty simulation, and the subtopic lectures were rated most meaningful. Conclusion: This pilot curricular integration study demonstrates feasibility and the perceived participant value of incorporating a social EM curriculum into EM residency training.
5. "They Are Measures Without Impact": Home Care Social Workers
Criticize OASIS-E.(includes abstract) Cabin, William Home Health Care
Management & Practice, Nov2023; 35(4): 271-276. (6p) (Journal Article -
research, tables/charts) ISSN: 1084-8223 AN: 173440417
Abstract: There is significant literature about the Medicare Outcome and Information Assessment (OASIS). A new OASIS Version E, effective January 2023, makes significant changes in assessing patient mental health. However, a literature review indicates no studies of the anticipated effectiveness of the OASIS-E on improving psychosocial care of Medicare home health beneficiaries. This article summarizes an initial, exploratory study to address the literature gap, based on interviews of a convenience sample of 36 home care social workers from 5 different home health agencies in the New York City metropolitan area between August 1, 2022, and November 30, 2022.
Four themes emerged from the study, namely that social workers believe the OASIS-E revisions: are an improvement over prior OASIS versions; are cumbersome and do not require administration by a social worker; do not impose specific guidance requirements on using new measures scoring results in making care decisions; and do not address coverage of specific interventions that address patients with significant mental health issues.
Policymakers are urged to modify the OASIS-E guidance manual to require use of new mental health assessment scores in care planning and to expand coverage of evidence-based treatment interventions for patients with significant assessed mental health conditions.

Abstract: For Black children with sickle cell disease (SCD) and their families, high disease stigmatization and pervasive racism increase susceptibility to discrimination in healthcare settings. Childhood experiences of discrimination can result in medical nonadherence, mistrust of healthcare providers, and poorer health outcomes across the lifespan.
Caregivers and medical providers are essential to childhood SCD management and are therefore well-positioned to provide insight into discrimination in the context of pediatric SCD. This mixed-methods study sought caregivers' and providers' perspectives on processes underlying discrimination and potential solutions to mitigate the negative effects of perceived discrimination among children with SCD. Caregivers (N = 27) of children with SCD (≤ 12 years old) and providers from their hematology clinics (N = 11) participated in individual semi-structured interviews exploring experiences of discrimination and daily SCD management and completed a quantitative measure of discrimination. Qualitative data were collected until themes reached saturation and subsequently transcribed verbatim, coded, and analyzed using applied thematic analysis. Quantitative and qualitative data converged to suggest the pervasiveness of discrimination in healthcare settings. Three qualitative themes emerged: (1) healthcare system factors underlie discrimination, (2) families' challenging interactions with providers lead to perceptions of discrimination, and (3) experiences of discrimination impact caregiver-provider interactions. Both caregivers and providers highlighted building trusting patient-provider relationships and encouraging patients'
self-advocacy as means to reduce experiences and impacts of discrimination.
These findings offer potential approaches to tangibly mitigate occurrences of discrimination in pediatric healthcare settings by trust building, accountability keeping, and fostering rapport to improve quality of care and pediatric SCD health outcomes.

8. Oral Health and Social Work Integration: Advancing Social Workers'
Roles in Dental Education. By: Zerden, Lisa de Saxe; Morris, Melanie;
Burgess-Flowers, Jamie. Health & Social Work. Feb2023, Vol. 48 Issue 1,
p43-53. 11p. Abstract: Oral health remains underutilized within both
integrated service delivery and educational settings. Advancing social
workers' roles in the education of oral health providers is one
strategic way to expand oral health and social work integration.
Although the involvement of social workers in dental education is not
new, fewer than 18 percent of the country's 68 accredited dental
schools have active social work departments or services. This
exploratory study sought to determine how, as of 2021, social work has
been integrated into U.S. dental education programs (N = 13). Findings
offer an overview of current social work programs in existence, roles
social workers have in addressing social and behavioral health needs in
dental education settings, and barriers to and facilitators in
developing and sustaining integrated partnerships. This article
discusses ways social work and oral health educational settings can
mutually benefit from developing and/or strengthening their integrated
collaborations. It also addresses a comparison of educational missions,
clinical learning opportunities across both professions, and how
patient care can be improved by expanding oral health and social work
integration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] DOI: 10.1093/hsw/hlac038. (AN:
