Policy Addressing Private Concerns
October 15, 2019
Does your health department have a policy to addresses the privacy concerns arising from having to serve health dept employees as patients, or their family members as patients. We are interested in policies that address how to mitigate the HIPAA concerns – in other clinical settings a common policy (at least in larger cities) is to ask the client to seek care elsewhere. For Health Dept services this is rarely an option.
If you have a policy on this topic and are willing to share it, please attach to your response.
Homeland Security
October 7, 2019
Please see attached information about the Homeland Security’s change to the immigration public charge rule. As of October 15, 2019, the new rule would expand what constitutes a public charge for immigration applications and adjustments of status. NYSACHO is working with the Department of Health and Office for New Americans to host a webinar on how the public charge rule will impact the services you provide to community members. Please send us any questions you have about this rule and what you would like the State to address during a webinar that is specific to local health departments (please be as detailed as possible).
Gun Violence from a public health perspective
September 3, 2019
I would like to hear from counties that are working to address issues related to gun violence from a public health perspective. Any information on collaborative efforts within your counties, data points used to define the problem, and evidence based strategies for prevention and intervention would be appreciated.
