Social Worker School Teletherapy

About the Department

The Corewell Health West Ambulatory Care Management Department is made up of Social Work Behavioral Health Specialists, Social Work Psychotherapists, RN Care Managers, Community Health Workers, and Medical Assistants. Our team is accessible at various service points across our system including primary care locations, specialty clinic spaces, virtually/remotely, and in school clinic settings.

Overall, the Ambulatory Care Management department is focused on identifying and connecting with patients who have behavioral health concerns or chronic medical conditions and assist these patients with developing healthy behaviors and coping skills that will improve health outcomes. Team members of this department play an active role in the patient’s care and engage as part of the interdisciplinary team in developing an appropriate treatment approach for patients experiencing chronic disease and/or behavioral health concerns to promote self-management and symptom improvement.

The Ambulatory Care Management Department has multiple unique approaches in our work. First, our Transitions of Care Team provides comprehensive transition of care support to patients recently discharged from the hospital to help keep these patients well in the community, prevent readmissions, and reduce overall cost of care. Next, our RN Care Managers and Social Work Behavioral Health Specialists engage with patients at outpatient primary and specialty care spaces to help address chronic medical conditions and behavioral health concerns. Supportive interventions focused on reducing barriers related to Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) are provided to primary care patients by our remote team of Community Health Workers. Finally, our remote School Based Social Work Psychotherapists provide outpatient behavioral health services virtually to local high school students.

The Ambulatory Care Management Department has consistently demonstrated successful outcomes through the interventions provided to patients.
