    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Employers often overlook skill differences between social workers, viewing non-MSW (Master of Social Work) holders as cheaper alternatives. This study proposes better work allocation between MSWs and BSWs (Bachelor of Social Work) in medical settings.
