Please find questions and answers from the "The Role of Community Health Workers in Asthma Management" webinar here. If you have additional questions, please post them here.
How much gel bait do you provide for integrated pest management? Are there any additional supplies for cockroaches that you use?
Also, do you actually work with the family and walk them through the process of IPM by laying down the bait or give them the supplies and let them do it on their own?
What has the success rate been for eliminating cockroach infestations in the home?
Nancy, what kind of ventilation fixes besides dryer vents have been successful? Do you do these through weatherization programs?
Are there case studies concerning pilots and implementation of reimbursement for environmental and asthma intervention home visiting services?
Also, did the programs mentioned in the webinar rely on self reported results from home visiting program patients or medical record data for hospitalizations and ER visits as the basis for cost savings and reimbursement?
Are there any studies that have validated actual savings (reduced medical costs) using insurance claims data vs. self-reported data? If so, can you share the source/reference?
The cost of the Home Asthma Response Program seems costly ($145k per year). Other than the CHW, what else does the program pay for beyond fringe benefits, staff travel and supervisory time? Thanks!
Could the AE-C also work in the professional capacity as CHW?
THanks for a great webinar, my question is why did you designate an overnight stay in the hospital as urgent care not a hospitalization?
How did you determine Asthma Control Level - was that by ACT?
The HARP program provides supplies in thier last visit...what is the reasoning for this and why are they not provided at an earlier visit?
How have the programs addressed adults with asthma?
How can we support CHW learning on work-related asthma? Specifically, learning about causes and prevention of work-related asthma and the relevance of workers' compensation benefits.
Do home visiting CHWs learn and teach about the risks of asthmagens and irritants in disinfectants and cleaning products?
