Pulse Assessment Sites01:11

Pulse Assessment Sites

Pulse assessment sites are crucial in evaluating a patient's cardiovascular health. By assessing the pulsations of arteries at specific anatomical locations, healthcare professionals can gather valuable information about blood flow, heart rate, and peripheral circulation. Understanding these pulse assessment sites is essential for conducting comprehensive cardiovascular evaluations and monitoring patients' overall health. These sites are strategically chosen due to the accessibility and...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Addiction Medicine
  • Mobile Health Interventions

Background:

  • The Community Care in Reach (CCIR) model utilizes mobile clinics to address critical gaps in care for vulnerable populations.
  • High-risk individuals, including those experiencing homelessness, often face barriers to accessing traditional addiction and harm reduction services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a descriptive evaluation of the multisite Community Care in Reach mobile addiction model.
  • To assess the reach and performance of harm reduction and clinical services delivered via mobile clinics.

Main Methods:

  • Employed the RE-AIM framework for evaluation.
  • Utilized a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection.
  • Data collected from January 2022 to June 2024 across six Massachusetts programs.

Main Results:

  • Provided 17,887 harm reduction encounters and 16,117 clinical encounters to 4,645 individuals.
  • Initiated buprenorphine-based treatment for 1,227 individuals, with 15% retention at 180 days.
  • Successfully engaged hard-to-reach individuals despite organizational challenges.

Conclusions:

  • The CCIR mobile addiction model demonstrates significant reach and engagement with high-risk, underserved populations.
  • Mobile clinics are an effective strategy for delivering essential harm reduction and clinical services to individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
  • The program's public/private partnership model has facilitated its growth and impact across multiple sites.
