Lauren Patterson, MSW
Lauren Patterson, MSW, Social Services Coordinator, manages a team of clinical social workers whom interview and assess each patient to develop an appropriate discharge plan that meets the patient’s particular needs.
Patterson, who has been with Broward Health Imperial Point for six years, shares what she treasures most about her role.
“What I love about case management is the ability to work interdisciplinary throughout to acute hospital continuum,” Patterson said. “Each day I am able to speak with nurses, physical therapists, physicians and more to include their recommendations into what will be the best plan for the patient.” “I then am able to fully educate the patient on why this particular plan is being recommended and work hand-in-hand on individualizing that plan to cater the patient’s needs.”
