Introduced by: Janet D. Howell | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Study; community health workers. Requests James Madison University to study the status, impact, and utilization of community health workers. Community health workers are trained lay persons who, as trusted members of their communities, serve as health resource persons where they live and work, implementing culturally appropriate health education and outreach among groups that have traditionally lacked adequate health care. The University shall (i) inventory the number, roles, and training of all community health workers employed in the Commonwealth and explore a standard designation for such workers; (ii) identify and review outcome studies and evaluations on the efficacy of community health workers; (iii) determine ways to elevate the role of community health workers in the health care delivery system and to integrate more effectively such workers in public agencies; (iv) examine the potential use of community health workers as part of a best-practice quality measure for Medicaid and other contracted providers; (v) explore the development of a statewide core curriculum that would be used for the training of publicly employed community health workers and be available for volunteer workers; and (vi) recommend any other steps to maximize the value and utilization of community health workers. The University must report its findings and recommendations to the 2005 Session of the General Assembly. This resolution is identical to HJR 195.
