“…Levack and colleagues suggested that person-centered goals often were consistent with professional and ethical obligations to adequately prepare clients for discharge, yet conflicted with the hospitals’ financial obligations to discharge clients as soon as possible.

“…The complexity of ICH not only requires medical interventions, but chronic disease management and a system of coordinated care to decrease readmission rates (Rehman & Siddiqui, 2013).

Purpose The Affordable Care Act and budget cuts have changed the role of hospital social workers by placing pressure on them to conduct speedy discharges and decrease readmission rates. This qualitative study aimed to assess if hospital social work is meeting the needs of clients in the hospital and post-discharge. Methods Semi-structured interviews with 10 clients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and 11 caregivers were conducted. Results Participants reported that social work services were not meeting their needs. Clients with ICH and their caregivers expressed needs from social workers that surpassed their roles as discharge planners, including counseling, help with finances and insurance, and advocacy. Participants wanted social work services to begin early in acute treatment with continuity post-discharge. Conclusion Social workers should conduct ethical social work by meeting clients where they are, addressing needs as prioritized by the client, and advocating individually and organizationally for clients.
