Yesterday, March 3, 2020, Dr. Nanette Ramilo-Cruz trained TRF’s Social Workers in using a Genogram.
A genogram is a diagram charting the history of the behavior patterns (as of divorce, abortion, or suicide etc.) of a family over several generations. It also details the medical history of a family in order to assess a family member's risk of developing disease. Last year TRF’s nurses also underwent this in-house training as part of patient documentation.
This training assists the Social Workers in using family assessment tools in the palliative care plan. This also assists them to foresee problems in the future for families with patients suffering with chronic illness.
This training was an avenue to enlighten TRF’s Social Workers regarding family connections, roots of concerns, etc.
