Outreach Reference Manual
HOP’s Outreach Reference Manual is a comprehensive reference for outreach programs to improve program effectiveness and sustainability. Tackling such topics as cultural competency, health education, recruitment and retention, needs assessment, planning, and evaluation, the variety of information included is not just relevant for outreach staff, but for everyone working to improve access in the community.
The Third Edition
HOP is continually updating and creating new chapter for the Outreach Reference Manual. While the original manual was geared specifically toward farmworker health outreach programs, HOP’s new Outreach Reference Manual chapters provide direction for how to most effectively use outreach to increase access to and utilization of comprehensive primary health care services across many underserved communities.
Clinical Outreach Chapter
Clinical outreach is defined as the coordination and provision of clinical services in an outreach setting. It is an approach to meet individuals and communities where they are and to extend care in settings that best fit their needs and the context of their lives. The purpose of this chapter is to support health centers by providing a practical framework and guidance on undertaking clinical outreach efforts. It explores the different facets of clinical outreach and how it can be planned and implemented.
