| Solicitation Profile |
The New York State Department of Health (Department), Division of Family Health, Bureau of Child Health seeks to improve the health outcomes for adolescents and young adults (AYA) ages 12-21 with sickle cell disease (SCD) throughout their care and treatment, including as they transition from pediatric to adult health care providers and strive to achieve self-care. It is anticipated that up to four DOH approved Article 28 Hemoglobinopathy Specialty Care (HSC) Centers will be awarded funding to provide social support and assistance to navigate health systems and resources. This will include partnering with Health Homes as appropriate, and support for continued engagement with the health care system, thus enabling a smooth transition into the adult care system through comprehensive care coordination and navigation services.
This RFA will build on the expertise of Department-certified HSC Centers to improve transition of care for AYA into the adult health care system, including a connection to Health Homes when appropriate. It is the intent of this RFA to fund up to four HSC Centers to support enhanced care coordination and transition services for children and youth with SCD. These services can be provided by community health workers, paraprofessionals from the community who are trained by the HSC Center and receive oversight and guidance by health care professionals, social workers, genetic counselors, patient educators, or other individuals deemed appropriate by the HSC Center. Community health workers can help bridge the gaps among medical services and improve the individuals’ engagement with the health care system. They can also provide outreach to individuals with SCD to better ensure support and adherence to treatment plans, provide advocacy for individuals with SCD, and assist with transition to Health Homes, as appropriate, or the adult care health system for individuals not eligible for Health Homes. It is anticipated that lessons learned from this initiative can support other HSC Centers to improve and enhance support of individuals with SCD served through their Centers. |
