Social Needs

Need DOC Team Social Work? (a.k.a. JAN AND ELISSA)

How to Refer: It's now as easy as 1-2

1. Your first choice (and never the wrong answer) is to find Jan Dillard, LCSW or Elissa Nickolopolous, LCSW in the back hallway on the Lavender side. Or use Secure Chatin Epic (speech balloon in upper left corner) to ping them.
2. If a patient has been coming to the DOC for a while, and especially if  dealing w/ a chronic issue, type "LCSW" in the Search box in the patient's chart and it should pull up prior Social Work notes, so you can double-check if the issue has been addressed previously (maybe even last visit).
   
   Note: EComm DOC Social Work has been discontinued.
