What information do we have about the agency setting?
While working as a medical social worker at Holland Community Hospital, Diana Howard, BSW, received a referral to coordinate home health services for patient Joshua Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell had been admitted to the hospital repeatedly after failing to make use of home health services set up for him in the past. In order for Mr. Mitchell to be released from the hospital he had to have a discharge plan from Diana. However, Diana was unsure what course to take as the medical staff pushed for his release and Diana searched for a way to provide services that Mr. Mitchell would use.
Holland Community Hospital (HCH) was a 213-bed community-centered private hospital in Holland, Michigan, with “a commitment to continually improve the health of the communities … in the spirit of hope, compassion, respect and dignity.” HCH was known for its community health outreach programs.
