Care and Psychosocial Support Coordinators Overview
The people in this group assist patients and caregivers with the coordination of the complex and variable range of services that may be required for patients and their families. Some deal primarily with logistical issues, continuity of care, post-discharge support and resources, and financial issues (Care Managers, Medical Social Workers). Others address spiritual needs and support (Chaplains) or complex issues involving difficult ethical decisions (Bioethicists). Education and training are generally at the doctoral or master’s level.
