Health care costs and the effective management of health care
are of primary importance and concern to federal, state, and local
governments. Consequently, it is necessary to develop innovative,
successful, and integrated cost-effective treatments and
procedures. Behavioral Medicine presents a new model to address
these needs.
Behavioral Medicine discusses the composition of effective
psychosocial treatment and presents a cost analysis of social work
and its services. By defining the problems that need to be
addressed in health care costs and management, applying research
and using studies, this text presents an effective model for health
care organizations. It also presents a profile of the Behavioral
Social Worker, which defines the abilities needed to be effective
in the role and looks at the key impact areas for a behavioral
health model. This is a comprehensive guide for social workers
preparing to work in health care organizations, and for existing
social workers, academics, and practitioners of behavioral medicine
in health settings.
