The social worker, the PSRO, and the nursing home
Expert InsightsPublished 1979
Describes a series of roles for social workers in the 1980s in connection with PSRO long-term care review programs. These programs have direct relevance to improving the care of nursing home patients and ensuring that psychosocial needs are met to the extent that the nursing home should be held responsible for those needs. PSRO long-term care review presents an opportunity for social workers to use established skills of psychosocial assessment provided they develop some new interests and skills in measurement techniques.
