OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Support from the Aids Foundation of Chicago allows Sinai to provide Primary and HIVmedical specialty care to 85 uninsured clients in our Adult Infectious Diseaseclinic. Throuh the clinic, Sinai caregivers provide medical and social support casemanagement services to all qualified HIV infected patients. This includes foodvouchers, transportation back and forth to visits, support systems, linkage intocare, and referrals sources.Case manager case load is approximately 170 patients. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: This program includes the Stand Against Cancer Evaluation Support, Chicago Community Trust Evaluation Grant and Community Health Worker Programs in Chicagos Health Care Access Community Health Network (ACCESS) has implemented the Stand Against Cancer (SAC) program in partnership with the state of Illinois in order to address disparities in breast and cervical cancer outcomes by targeting low income, minority, and uninsured women in the Chicago area. SUHI has previously served as an external evaluation consultant for these efforts. In 2013, SUHI provided the following support and technical assistance:Completed SAC records of abnormal breast and cervical screenings using Sinais medical record system. Built a Microsoft Access database for the SAC abnormal data in order to streamline the data entry and analysis process for ACCESS abnormal cases moving forward.Provided a report detailing how SAC patients access mammography services at Sinai Health System in order to evaluate the capacity of Breast Imaging Services.In May 2010, The Sinai Urban Health Institute (SUHI) began work on an evaluation grant from the Chicago Community Trust (CCT). The purpose of this grant is to provide an evaluation framework for Trust-funded health programs, thereby allowing for critical program review by both grantee organizations and the Trust. This project was conceptualized because many community-based health programs funded by the Trust do not have a structured evaluation plan in place, making it difficult to discern program effectiveness. The primary aim of the Community Health Worker Programs in Chicagos Health Care Institutions project is to clearly delineate Community Health Worker (CHW) effectiveness and best practices in terms of evidence-based science. Information collected in the study will be synthesized and analyzed to: 1.) Create standardized process and outcome evaluation tools for CHW programs; and 2.) Inform the CHW model in health care settings.In 2013 the Sinai Urban Health Institute announces the release of a new report, Best Practices Guidelines for Implementing and Evaluating Community Health Worker Programs in Health Care Settings. This report is the culmination of a two-year project funded by the Lloyd A. Fry Foundation. The Community Health Worker (CHW) Best Practice Guidelines are intended to be a blueprint for health care organizations interested in implementing the CHW model. These practice guidelines were developed to address gaps in the CHW professional literature and assist health care administrators, public health professionals, health care providers, CHWs, and communities in designing and implementing CHW interventions grounded in evidence-based science. |
