| Description: |
The Tribal Assessment & Planning (TAP) program purpose is to support the assessment and planning of Tribes and Tribal Organizations (T/TO) in determining the feasibility of implementing Community Health Aide Program (CHAP) in their respective communities. The program is designed to support the regional flexibility required for T/TO to design a program unique to the needs of their individual communities across the country through the identification of feasibility factors. The focus of the program is to:Determine whether the T/TO can integrate CHAP into the Tribal health system including the health care workforce.Identify systemic barriers that prohibit the complete integration of CHAP into an existing health care system related to clinical infrastructure, workforce barriers, certification of providers, training of providers, and the inclusion of culture in the services provided by a CHAP provider.Identify partners across the T/TO geographic region to address the systemic barriers including reimbursement, training, education, clinical infrastructure, implementation cost, and system integration.This is only a forecast. The synopsis and application package are not yet posted, and we have not yet finalized the application due date. This opportunity will be updated when it is published in the Federal Register. |
