The Intersection of Social Justice and Clinical Healthcare: A CST-Informed Care Coordination Model
Using a See - Judge - Act model for theological reflection and social action, this paper aims to convey the need for community-based intervention in healthcare settings serving underserved and/or vulnerable patient populations, and accordingly proposes a model for the utilization of community health workers. Combining the community health worker and patient navigator roles allows for increased individual accompaniment and provides community health adequate space within the clinic, leading to a more complete manifestation of solidarity and preferential option for the poor in the healthcare sector.
