PSYCHOSOCIAL HEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS
WHAT OUR PARTNERS ARE SAYING ...
"We have been using the CSS distress screener and recently used it for a caregiver study. PPS was wonderful to work with as we customized the tool so we could add some COVID-19 specific questions. Customization was quick and seamless. Having access to the raw data and being able to provide support to patients and caregivers in real time has been so helpful for patient experience and satisfaction metrics."

"Our partnership with CSC has expanded our resources to better serve our patients in numerous ways including: the helpline, grant/assistance access, research engagement, training opportunities, and program offerings. Through being an outpatient health care affiliate, our supportive care program has a wider breadth of engagement with the larger oncology beyond our local reach. We have first-hand access to the innovation and leaders in the field of psychosocial oncology and I believe this is a win-win for organizational goals and patient-centered oncology care."

“Social workers have appreciated the interdisciplinary timely communication and real-time triage that has occurred with the switch to electronic distress screening. Innovative implementation of technology as an intervention has added value to the social work service line at Mount Sinai and has been a cost effective way of obtaining data while providing better patient care.”
