Greetings  ……  I am forwarding this on to the Colorado Rocky Mt. Chapter of NAPNAP members and ask that you consider completing the survey.  As nurse practitioners, especially pediatric nurse practitioners in both primary care as well as specialty care, we are involved in coordination of care/care coordination at many different levels and in many different settings.  We may not always call it care coordination but through the Pt. Centered Medical Home (PCMH) initiative and ACA nurse practitioner/advanced practice nurses are  being recognized at the national level for these efforts.  I would like to identify and document the work of PNP’s in assisting all children to connect with community resources as well as helping them receive the health care they need in Colorado.  Thank you in advance for your time to respond.   If you have any questions, please feel free to send me an e-mail.   Barbara

 Hello.

The Colorado Patient Navigator and Community Health Worker Collaborative hopes to learn more about the resources available to clients and activities underway in the area of patient navigation, community health work and care coordination. We hope the results of this survey will help to better coordinate services within communities through an understanding of what is needed to support this work and the current status of community health work, patient navigation and care coordination in Colorado to advance the field.

 

As a partner in this effort, the Colorado School of Public Health asks you to CLICK BELOW TO TAKE THE SURVEY

Please provide input about ALL areas applicable to your work or services. On average, the survey will take 15 minutes to complete. If you chose to share your contact information and allow your information to be released, you will receive the results of the survey. If you do not wish your contact information to be shared, the data will NOT be provided to outside agencies.  We encourage you to forward this survey along to your networks and colleagues.  Within the survey, there is an opportunity to provide information about networks and individuals you plan to forward/share information; or you can reply to this e-mail or andrea.dwyer@ucdenver.edu if you have any questions or ideas about survey dissemination.  The results and a survey summary will be shared at the Public Health in the Rockies Conference in Breckenridge in September.  There will be a special focus on patient navigation and community health work on September 19th and 20th.
