Section 4.3: Screening and Eligibility

In this section we delve into the critical aspect of CFH’s vaccination efforts dedicated to homebound individuals. We recognize that this particular population faces unique challenges when it comes to accessing essential healthcare services, including vaccination. As part of our commitment to equity and accessibility, we have developed a comprehensive approach to reach and serve homebound patients effectively.

Within this section, we will address several key components:

4.1 Target Population and Outreach: We will begin by defining the target population for homebound patients and elaborating on how we identify and reach out to these individuals. Homebound patients represent a vulnerable group, and our mission is to ensure that they receive the necessary vaccinations without any barriers.

4.2 Homebound and Long Term Care Coordinators: Our Homebound and Long Term Care Coordinators play a pivotal role in organizing and facilitating vaccination clinics for this population. We will discuss their responsibilities, outreach strategies, and coordination efforts to ensure that homebound patients receive the care they need.

4.3 County's Epidemiology and Immunizations Services Branch (EISB) and Homebound Team: Collaboration with county partners is essential to our success in serving homebound individuals. We will explore the role of the County's Epidemiology and Immunizations Services Branch and how our collaboration enhances our outreach and vaccination services.

4.4 Screening and Eligibility: We will outline our meticulous screening and eligibility procedures, which are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of homebound patients. These procedures ensure that eligible individuals receive vaccines promptly.

4.5 Additional Considerations: Beyond the above sections, we will address any additional needs, strategies, or best practices that pertain to our work with homebound patients. Our goal is to provide a holistic view of our approach to serving this vulnerable population.

We understand that homebound individuals often face significant health disparities and are at higher risk for adverse outcomes from vaccine-preventable diseases. As such, our commitment to delivering equitable and accessible vaccination services to them is unwavering. This chapter serves as a testament to our dedication to safeguarding the health and well-being of all members of our community, including those who are homebound.
