NEW!  Community Health Worker & Promotora Trainings!

CPCA is offering this multi-part training program to introduce health centers and regional associations to a new workforce; community health workers (CHWs) and Promotoras who can be integrated into a clinic to help provide a more holistic approach when caring for patients.

Community health workers are widely utilized in low income communities and are an important tool in reducing health disparities; however, evidence is lacking on their effectiveness, making it difficult for such programs to receive funding.

Given the diversity of CHW programs, there is no one-size-fits-all evaluation approach. CHW programs may hire an external evaluator or assign an internal staff member to serve as an evaluator. In developing an evaluation plan, evaluators of CHW programs emphasize the importance of employing simple data collection techniques and using existing data tracking mechanisms, like electronic health records. 

Please join us for the last webinar of our series as we review different data collection methods that clinics can utilize to demonstrate the impact that CHWs are having in improving health outcomes for patients and the community.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Learn the importance of, and best practices for data collection.
• Acquire different methods of data collection that can help fund your CHW/Promotora program.
• Gain an understanding of how to collect evidence-based data to help show a return on investment.

SPEAKERS
