The social worker will also develop a record of patient history psychosocial assessment and psychosocial diagnosis for each assigned patient.
Treatment Planning/Goal Setting - It is the responsibility of working within the interdisciplinary treatment team to develop a treatment plan based on assessment data and the input from the Veteran. The treatment plan will include measurable goals, objectives and treatment methods based upon the patient assessment. The treatment plan will be used to direct a course of treatment.
