Social Workers' Attitudes Towards Public Accountability

The public demand for accountability of human services has been increasing in the United States. Despite the growing importance of public accountability as a special responsibility of social workers, little information is available in U.S. on how these pro fessionals react to the implementation of accountability programs. The survey reported in this paper was made to explore the attitudes of social workers in U.S. hospitals toward PSRO, a nationwide health care service review system. The paper presents a descriptive overview of significant aspects of American social workers' personal attitudes toward various issues of current concern about this accountability system.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/67090/2/10.1177_002087288402700307.pd
