NURS 561 Social Services Discussion
NURS 561 Social Services Discussion
Share what social services are available in your community
and give examples of when it is important to involve social services in the
management of your patients in the primary care setting? Please give examples
of what you have done in your clinic setting involving social services. Support
your discussion with evidence based practice and recommendations.
DQ2 Topic 2: Interprofessional Team
A multiprofessional team practice is necessary as you cannot
be expected to know everything there is to know and have all the skills to
address the complete range of episodic and chronic health problems commonly
seen in the primary care setting.
Discuss what you believe is the ideal provider mix for an
interprofessional team in primary care. Design an interprofessional team to
meet the primary care needs in your community and share with your peers in the
discussion forum.
Support your discussion with evidence based practice and
recommendations.

Golden State Stimulus Payments for IHSS Program Providers
To qualify for a Golden State Stimulus payment, In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) providers must have filed their 2020 tax returns and have received the CaliforniaEarned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC). IHSS providers who are exempt from income taxes may still be eligible for the CalEITC but must file a tax return using their year-to-date wages, which can be found on their last paystub of the 2020 tax year. To learn more about the Golden State Stimulus, visit the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) website, chat with an FTB representative online, or call the FTB at (800) 852-5711.
