They participate in interdisciplinary team meetings, share insights on patients’ psychosocial needs, and advocate for resources such as transportation, financial assistance, and mental health support. Regular communication with the medical team ensures that patients' emotional, social, and practical challenges are addressed alongside their medical treatment, leading to better patient outcomes.
