[humanser] Medical Social Work

[JD Townsend]

Dear Leslie & List:

Welcome to the list and know that each of us has been in your place at one 
time or another.

I know that there are Social Workers doing medical social work, in fact the 
Vice President of this division, David Sayer, is retired from medical social 
work after a long career in NYC.  You will find that this division has 
counselors in a wide variety of practices.

My hospital's computer documentation is a pain too, but it was made easier 
by having a Blind Services consultant create JAWS and Window-Eyes scripts to 
make it work.  While I don't know what state you are in I imagine that your 
counselor from the state agency for the blind would be able to help you with 
this.  It is an inexpensive solution to a very real workplace problem.
I do some of my documentation this way, but have found that my documents, 
scanned into Word documents, is my own best way.  You, using your 
creativity, will find your own best way.

Greetings all,

This is my first submission on the Human Services list serve so I apologize 
in advance if I am doing this wrong.

I am pursuing my Masters degree in Social Work and I am currently internning 
at a county hospital in the in-patient psychiatric unit. I firstly am 
wondering if anyone has contact info for anyone that may be able to give me 
some pointers on medical social work with a visual impairment and, I am also 
having a very difficult time completing my responsibilities because our 
charting program Epic is completely inaccessible with JAWS.
I know this is a vague subject but I thought I'd just give it a shot that 
someone may have some pointers or provide me with some direction.
Thanks and have a very happy new year!
