Proposed Project: Development and

Testing of Emergency Department

Utilization as a Measure of

Effectiveness for the Health Care for the

Homeless Program (NEW)

The Health Resources and Services

Administration’s Bureau of Primary

Health Care (BPHC) seeks clearance

from OMB to conduct a performance

evaluation of the Health Care for the

Homeless Program (HCH). A primary

goal of this program is to provide a

‘‘medical home’’ for homeless persons

in the community, improving their

access to primary care. The evaluation

will test the hypothesis that the

presence of an HCH program in a

community reduces the inappropriate

(i.e., non-urgent) use of emergency

departments (ED) by single homeless

adults. The results from this evaluation

will provide BPHC with evidence of the

HCH program’s ability to divert

inappropriate use of emergency

departments by homeless individuals.

The study will compare the ED

experience of HCH program users and

non-HCH program users while

considering three categories of

influencing factors: (1) Predisposing

factors (demographics), (2) enabling

factors (insurance status and community

characteristics), and (3) needs factors

(physical and mental health status,

presence of drug or alcohol problems).

The analysis requires primary data

collection through interviews of

homeless individuals in communities

where there are HCH grantees. The data

collection instrument for this evaluation

is a brief (20 minute) questionnaire that

will measure self-reported health care

utilization during the study period,

health status and perceived health care

needs, and demographics. Information

from the study will be used in

conjunction with data from ED records

of homeless individuals with selfreported ED use during the study period

to determine whether a particular ED

visit should be considered ‘‘urgent’’ or

‘‘non-urgent’’.

One thousand three hundred and fifty

respondents are expected to be surveyed

once. It is expected to take 20 minutes

to complete each survey for a total of

450 burden hours.
