Ans: Two proficiencies social workers are required to have in the fields of palliative and hospice care are providing interventions and resource coordination. Providing interventions is the ability to identify a problem, to conduct assessment, to engage in goal setting, to identify interventions, and to actively participate in the process of implementing and monitoring the interventions with the patient. Resource coordination is also important in this process because implementing interventions will necessitate access to multiple and varied resources to respond to the needs of the patient. The social worker must be able to know how to find, access, and utilize these various resources and/or point the patient in the direction to find and access such resources.
