Community health worker (CHW) and social worker (SW) collaboration is crucial to illness prevention and intervention, yet systems often engage the 2 workforces in silos and miss opportunities for cross-sector alignment. In 2021, a national workgroup of over 2 dozen CHWs, SWs, and public health experts convened to improve CHW/SW collaboration and integration across the United States. The workgroup developed a conceptual framework that describes structural, systemic, and organizational factors that influence CHW/SW collaboration. Best practices include standardized training, delineated roles and scopes of practice, clear workflows, regular communication, a shared system for documentation, and ongoing support or supervision.
社区卫生工作者（CHW）和社会工作者（SW）的合作对于疾病的预防和干预至关重要，然而系统通常使这两个工作领域各自为政，错失了跨部门协同的机会。2021 年，由 20 多名 CHW、SW 和公共卫生专家组成的全国工作组召开会议，以改善全美国的 CHW/SW 合作和整合。该工作组制定了一个概念框架，描述了影响 CHW/SW 合作的结构、系统和组织因素。最佳实践包括标准化培训、明确的角色和实践范围、清晰的工作流程、定期沟通、共享的文件记录系统以及持续的支持或监督。
