Leave a Comment Today we are going to discuss on System Level Intervention. An organization’s structure, policies, and budget as well as the community network of services should adequately provide for the implementation of client-centered case management. The social work case manager is responsible for understanding how the agency and environmental systems can both positively and negatively affect clients and to intervene at the system level to optimize these conditions. To this end, the social work case manager engages in a range of tasks that support and enhance the system in which case management exists. For example, the social work case manager
- analyzes the strengths and limitations of environmental systems
- delineates desired outcomes
- selects strategies to improve systems
- assesses the effectiveness of strategies
- continues to revise, as indicated, desired outcomes and strategies.
Specific activities include, but are not limited to, resource development, financial accountability, social action, agency policy formation, data collection, information management, program evaluation, and quality assurance. Like client intervention, system intervention occurs along a continuum and comprises an ongoing, uninterrupted cycle of tasks that are performed by the social work case manager.
