Provide counseling and education to patients and families on coping with emotional and social challenges related to illness and treatment.

Collaborate with physicians and interdisciplinary team members to communicate significant psychosocial factors affecting patient health and treatment adherence.

Participate in development and ongoing evaluation of the physician's Plan of Care, ensuring social and emotional needs are addressed.

Monitor and report changes in patient condition, psychosocial status, and response to interventions to the Clinical Manager and care team.

Participate in discharge planning to ensure continuity of care and successful transitions.

Serve as a resource to the interdisciplinary team for identifying and resolving patient psychosocial needs.
