Abstract

As national health insurance becomes a reality we can anticipate a shift in emphasis from delivery of acute in-hospital care to community-based care. Professional social work functions in the future will likely be increasingly directed toward the administration and management of supportive health care services. This paper describes an interdisciplinary graduate educational program in administration and management of social health care services, developed by the School of Social Work jointly with the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University and the Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse. The curriculum is designed to train future social work professionals in planning, evaluation, and managerial skills necessary to perform middle-management and decision-making functions. The curriculum is provided by an interdisciplinary faculty team, and implemented with a task-oriented problem-solving approach. The program is in its 3rd year and hsa graduated 20 students.
