Supervision of Health Care Social Work: Principles and Practice - NASW Approved for 6 Continuing Education Contact Hours
Supervision of Health Care Social Work Practice focuses on how to effectively lead in a tumultuous health care environment characterized by changing patient populations, health care technologies, professional practices, community needs/expectations and rapid shifts in service delivery modalities. In this environment, health care professions are increasingly challenged to develop and oversee staff capable of delivering contemporary benchmark professional practice. Supervision of staff and programs becomes more crucial than ever before. Competent supervision requires practice knowledge, keen perspective and the ability to support, guide, educate and direct practitioners of varying skill and experience.
Seven accomplished authors provide a clear basis for supervising health care social work practice. Opening this volume, Carlton Munson's particularly comprehensive overview of supervisory practice offers an in-depth analysis of contemporary issues and trends. Reflecting principles enumerated by Munson, subsequent chapter highlight crucial elements and examples of contemporary social work supervision. Anne Conrad identifies key considerations in provision of ethically competent social work supervision, while Karen Neuman and Candyce Berger delineate factors in the supervision of social work paraprofessionals in health care settings. Carlean Gilbert and Kay Davidson offer thought-provoking insight on the relationship of supervision and life long learning. Pat Talley's experience of leading a social work department during a period of significant organizational change is shared with emphasis on supervisory role shifts and their implications for both the social work leader and staff.

Cultural Competence in Health Care Social Work Practice - NASW Approved for 6 Continuing Education Contact Hours
The increasing racial, ethnic, cultural and linguistic diversity of America, coupled with continuing disparities in illness and death among people of color presents a significant challenge to health care providers. Culture has a fundamental bearing on decisions of how health care services are offered and utilized. Sensitivity to the values, norms, traditions, belief systems and histories of differing client populations consequently is crucial if such services are to be appropriately targeted, accessed and utilized.
Eleven accomplished authors in this newest series edition provide a clear basis on which to advance culturally competent health care practice. Following Bertera's overview of the need for cultural competence, Neuman and her colleagues present a transactional model for practice. While Trachtenberg promotes the use of training as a strategy in organizing and designing cultural change in organizations, Anderson and Miller examine techniques for training workers and interpreters assisting clients with limited English proficiency. Differing roles and approaches to culturally competent practice are further delineated by Fairchild and Reyes as they detail the development of a university hospital's approach to caring for new immigrant populations and Simon as she underscores the significantly historic role of settlement houses in providing culturally sensitive community care.

Health Care Social Work Leadership in Crisis and Disaster Response
Throughout history, crises and disasters have occurred with traumatic impacts on life and property. Often unexpected and without warning, these events have taxed individuals and communities as they make effort to both recover from the immediate circumstance and put into place mechanisms to minimize recurrence of such threat. Within recent history, the United States has experienced devastating natural disasters including floods, hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, tornadoes and major snowstorms as well as the HIV/AIDS pandemic, military conflicts and calamities such as the Murrow Federal Building, World Trade Center and Pentagon bombings, structural fires like the Rhode Island night club disaster and various major transportation related mishaps.
Health care social work has a commendable history of demonstrating leadership in crises and disaster response.

In so doing, seven distinguished authors discuss the significance of crisis intervention and offer evidence as to the crucial roles played by social work in striving to safeguard public health and welfare.
