Professionals in medical social services also help patients to fully utilize medical care and services by:
- Explaining health-care resources and policies to patients, family and professional staff
- Helping plan for post-hospital patient needs by arranging for services at another facility or in the home
- Explaining to patients the epidemiology of diseases, including social environment risk factors
- Helping patients and families receive needed follow-up care by referral to health-care resources
- Understanding the social, cultural and religious variables that contribute to patients’ responses to illness and their use of health care resources
