Synopsis
The purpose of the Tribal Planning & Implementation (TPI) program is to support the planning and implementation for Tribes and Tribal Organizations (T/TO) positioned to begin operating a Community Health Aide Program (CHAP) or support a growing CHAP in the contiguous 48 states. The grant program is designed to support the regional flexibility required for T/TO to implement a CHAP unique to the needs of their individual communities across the country through the identification of feasibility factors. The focus of the program is to:
- Develop clinical supervisor support for primary care, behavioral health, and dental health clinicians providing both direct and indirect supervision of prospective health aides;
- Identify area and community-specific health care needs of patients that can be addressed by the health aides;
- Identify and develop a technology infrastructure plan for the mobility and success of health aides in anticipation of providing services;
- Develop a training plan to include partners across the T/TO's geographic region to enhance the training opportunities available to prospective health aides to include continuing education and clinical practice;
- Identify best practices for integrating a CHAP workforce into an existing Tribal health system;
- Address social determinants of health that impact the recruitment and retention of prospective health aides; and
- Identify the total cost of full implementation of a CHAP within an existing Tribal health system.
