Topics in Public Health: Community Health Care - “Extra-Clinical Care”: An Innovative and Systematized Approach to Healthcare Risk Assessments for the Homeless and the Underserved Populations

CE credit approval: 1-hour for physicians, physician assistants, nurses, and pharmacists (see Activity Outline for more details)

Presented by:

LCDR Kelly Fath, MSN, FNP-BC

Abstract: An assessment system known as "Extra-Clinical Care" adapted for the homeless population and currently taught at the University of Arizona. This approach begins with an understanding of the sociological issues involved in the care of the homeless and is coupled with the use of systematic reviews, validated tools, and field-tested techniques. You will discuss how the barriers to care affect treatment and outcomes, and learn how U.S. Public Health Commissioned Corps (USPHS) officers can be on the forefront by addressing healthcare disparities through community collaboration and improving outcomes by utilizing a set of validated skills to impact healthcare in underserved environments or on deployment missions.
