CONTINUUM OF CARE (COC) MODEL Sample Clauses

CONTINUUM OF CARE (COC) MODEL. These services include HIV combination prevention; HIV testing and linkage to care; managing opportunistic infections and other comorbid conditions and initiating, maintaining and monitoring ART. Since 2005, the Ministry of Health (MoH) through its National HIV/STI Program has developed norms, protocols, and guidelines for comprehensive care of PHIV. These included the strategic framework on HIV testing and counseling published (WHO, 2012) that expressly emphasizes the importance of ensuring proper linkage between detection and counseling programs and prevention, treatment, care, and support programs that must be available for people with HIV and the recommendations on HIV clinical staging (WHO, 2013)5. Early diagnosis, timely treatment, and achieving viral suppression are part of the main interventions in the continuum of comprehensive care for people with HIV. These interventions require joint work from family members, health staff, community and organizations working to reduce HIV transmission. From 2010 to 2013, PrevenSida implemented combination prevention. It included the following six interventions: Assessment of Sexual Activity, Condoms Provision and Counseling for Risk Reduction; Assessment of Serological Status of Partner, Testing and Referral; STIs Assessment; Assessment of Family Planning Needs; Adherence Assessment and Assessment of the Need for PLHIV support groups.

Since October 2014, following up with international recommendations, the program implemented the HIV CoC, which broadens actions towards community care for PHIV and included actions to identify health problems at the time of the support visit and referral of not adherent PHIV to ART and that require other types of services. PrevenSida has improved the access to preventive services, for example with CD4 testing through mobile equipment and surveys on HIV clinical staging in order to inform PHIV of their health status, raising awareness and education on self-care, ART adherence, attendance to medical appointments and lab tests, including CD4, viral load, and others. The program developed capabilities of the NGO CEPRESI to provide CD4 mobile tests and several NGOs were trained in community based clinical assessment survey based on WHO clinical staging to identify PLHIV at higher risk of opportunisti...

  • Continuity of Care OMPP is committed to providing continuity of care for members as they transition between various IHCP programs and the Contractor’s enrollment. The Contractor shall have mechanisms in place to ensure the continuity of care and coordination of medically necessary health care services for its Hoosier Healthwise members. The State emphasizes several critically important areas where the Contractor shall address continuity of care. Critical continuity of care areas include, but are not limited to:  Transitions for members receiving HIV, Hepatitis C and/or behavioral health services, especially for those members who have received prior authorization from their previous MCE or through fee-for-service;  Transitions for members who are pregnant;  A member’s transition into the Hoosier Healthwise program from traditional fee- for-service or HIP;  A member’s transition between MCEs, particularly during an inpatient stay;  A member’s transition between IHCP programs, Members exiting the Hoosier Healthwise program to receive excluded services;  A member’s exiting the Hoosier Healthwise program to receive excluded services;  A member’s transition to a new PMP;  A member’s transition to private insurance or Marketplace coverage; and  A member’s transition to no coverage. In situations such as a member or PMP disenrollment, the Contractor shall facilitate care coordination with other MCEs or other PMPs. When receiving members from another MCE or fee-for-service, the Contractor shall honor the previous care authorizations for a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days from the member’s date of enrollment with the Contractor. Contractor shall establish policies and procedures for identifying outstanding prior authorization decisions at the time of the member’s enrollment in their plan. For purposes of clarification, the date of member enrollment for purposes of the prior authorization time frames set forth in this section begin on the date the Contractor receives the member’s fully eligible file from the State. Additionally, when a member transitions to another source of coverage, the Contractor shall be responsible for providing the receiving entity with information on any current service authorizations, utilization data and other applicable clinical information such as disease management, case management or care management notes. This process shall be overseen by the Transition Coordination Manager. The Contractor will be responsible for care coordination after the member has disenrolled from the Contractor whenever the member disenrollment occurs during an inpatient stay. In these cases, the Contractor will remain financially responsible for the hospital DRG payment and any outlier payments (without a capitation payment) until the member is discharged from the hospital or the member’s eligibility in Medicaid terminates. The Contractor shall coordinate discharge plans with the member’s new MCE. See Section 3.7.5 for additional requirements regarding continuity of care for behavioral health services. The Hoosier Healthwise MCE Policies and Procedures Manual describes the Contractor’s continuity and coordination of care responsibilities in more detail.
