Hello Everyone, Chris Onderdonk was a member of the second cohort of the Post MSW course through the Institute for Palliative Care. He asked me to send the following request to you all in hopes you can assist him and his group with this important project. I hope you are all doing well. Several of us are meeting in the morning for breakfast at the SWHPN conference. Wish you could all join us. Gary To our palliative care social work colleagues, I am writing representing the San Diego Coalition of Palliative Care Social Workers, a group of inpatient palliative care social workers who meet on a monthly basis to address common issues and challenges. Our group is currently working on developing metrics that will help us measure the outcomes of our work in order to demonstrate the value of what we do on a quantitative level. Our hope is to be able to present this data to our leadership in order to advocate for expanded palliative care social work resources. We were hoping others in this Listserve have experience developing outcome measures that you could share with us. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Best, Chris Onderdonk, LCSW Clinical Social Worker Doris A. Howell Service 3855 Health Sciences Drive La Jolla, CA 92093-0658 Office-858-657-6832 Cell- 805-448-8473
