A COMPILATION OF CASE STUDIES OF OUTREACH AND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AT SELECTED COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS
Case studies are documented concerning transportation and outreach services provided by 20 community health centers (CHCs) across the U.S. The CHCs studied were selected as a proportionate mix of large and small, urban and rural centers. Data concerning utilization and other aspects of transportation and outreach services were collected during site visits, but the data have not been validated and much of the information involved guesswork. Most of the centers defined transportation services as the transport of both patients and items. While all CHCs defined outreach as any health-related service provided either in patients' homes or in the community, there were no outreach departments per se. The twelve discrete outreach services found to be provided by CHCs are: case finding, follow up, assessment, health education, home care, social service, mental health, facilitating, referrals, medical services, field registration, and counseling.
