Fort Collins is the largest city in Larimer County with a population of 90,000. The three counties are rich in agriculture, mountains, and rural communities. Colorado State University and the University of Northern Colorado are located in the NCAP catchment area. Population Characteristics As of December 31, 1993, 108 cases of AIDS have been reported in this tri-county area: 52 reported cases in Larimer county resulting in 27 deaths; in Weld County, 46 reported cases and 26 deaths; and 10 cases with 7 deaths in Morgan County. These statistics unfortunately do not reflect the number of persons living with AIDS who reside in these areas but were diagnosed elsewhere nor the number of HIV infected individuals who have not yet progressed to AIDS. Larimer, Weld, and Morgan Counties have a total population of 339,896. A disproportionate number of Hispanics reside in these three Colorado counties. All three counties have the same percentage of males and females, 49% and 51% respectively. With the exception of females, NCAP clients closely reflect the demographics of our community. Furthermore, NCAP actively pursues diverse gender, cultural, and racial representation on its Board of Directors. Existing Services The existing services in Larimer County include the Northern Colorado AIDS Project, the Colorado State University Student Health Center, the Larimer County AIDS Coalition, the Larimer County Health Department and limited private practice health professionals. NCAP provides case management services, a buddy program, and support services to HIV affected individuals. The Colorado State University (CSU) Student Health Center services the needs of CSU students including education and testing. The Larimer County AIDS Coalition is an organization that provides education to the communities in Larimer County. The Larimer County Health Department offers HIV counseling and testing. Service Gaps Historically, HIV affected individuals have expressed concerns regarding the lack of sufficient services. Consequently, many individuals residing in northern Colorado have chosen to receive their medical care in metropolitan area, specifically Denver. Outside of the services provided by the Northern Colorado AIDS Project, there are no HIV/AIDS case management services and limited psychological counseling and/or support groups. 1 9407?.3 Description of the Service Plan: The Planning Process Three meetings involving the Weld County Health Department, The Northern Colorado AIDS Project, and representatives of Morgan County were held to develop the service plan. Both HIV infected and affected individuals were represented in the planning process. The Service Plan The Northern Colorado AIDS Project (NCAP) will provide case management, buddy program training in Fort Morgan, Greeley, and Fort Collins, psychological counseling, support groups and consortia development and coordination. NCAP currently works with 42 HIV infected individuals. In the past,NCAP has welcomed two new clients per month. Therefore, 24 new clients are expected to utilize NCAP's services in the next year. With this estimation, NCAP would have a total of 66 clients at year's end. The referral network will serve as a means of reaching and serving newly diagnosed HIV infected individuals. Because of confidentiality issues, health care professionals can not divulge names of newly diagnosed patients. Therefore, NCAP must rely heavily on physician recommendation. To combat this problem, the Executive Director is developing a rapport with local physicians to encourage utilization of available services. The Service Integration A Networking Agreement is used as a tool for referrals. Please see attachment A. Furthermore, referrals will be made from the Referral/Support Services listing distributed by the Colorado Department of Health. NCAP currently has networking agreements with over 40 agencies,including Plan de Salud del Valle,Disabled Resources of Larimer County, Hospice of Northern Colorado, Social Services of Larimer and Weld Counties and the Weld County Health Department. The Implementation Plan The Northern Colorado AIDS Project (NCAP) will provide case management, buddy program training in Fort Morgan, Greeley, and Fort Collins, psychological counseling, support groups and consortia development and coordination. These activities will take place throughout the year.

Please see attachment A. Member Agencies Receiving Consortium Funds The Northern Colorado AIDS Project (NCAP) will receive consortium funding on a contractual basis to provide case management, buddy program training, psychological counseling,support groups and consortia development and coordination. The Northern Colorado AIDS Project is a community cased, volunteer, non-profit organization committed to serving those people impacted by HIV/AIDS in the Northern Colorado Community. NCAP strives to increase awareness and understanding of the AIDS epidemic and endeavors to empower persons affected by HIV/AIDS. NCAP's client services include: support groups for HIV infected individuals, their partners, families, and friends; a network of other community, advocacy, and referral organizations for persons with HIV infection;and volunteer(buddy) services for persons with AIDS. NCAP offers an AIDS information line that provides updated information and referral. The outreach program incorporates a speaker's bureau, brochures, a video tape and book library, and community networking and information sharing. Form of Agreement Between Agencies A Networking Agreement is used as the form of agreement between agencies. Please see attachment A. 3 94.0'741 Reporting and Evaluation NCAP will collect data according to the Uniform Reporting System. The case manager will conduct an initial interview to establish an individual as a client. During this visit, the information required by the URS is obtained. This information will be reported on a quarterly basis. Additionally, information will be collected and reported regarding the number of new clients and individuals who are positive may not become clients), where the individual was referred from, agencies and services that referrals are made to, and the needs of the clients. To evaluate the success in responding to the needs of the client, the case manager will assess and document the needs during the intake interview. This will establish a baseline for evaluation. As time progresses, the needs will be reviewed by the client, the case manager and select consortium members. Likewise, the Northern Colorado AIDS Project has plans to develop a cost effectiveness evaluation tool. 4 �e11°71q Budget Table I - Budget Justification Object/Class Category Total Funds Requested % of Total Budget Personnel $24,388 69 Fringe Benefits 4,024 60 Travel 445 38 Equipment 0 0 Supplies 549 50 Contractual 3` OO �299A. 100 Other 3,490 47 Audit 0 0 Indirect Charges `jJ 32 TOTAL $41,024 N% 59 Impact of Services Historically, HIV affected individuals have expressed concerns regarding the lack of sufficient services.

These funds would continue current services and allow for expansion. Currently, the case manager/executive director's time is limited due to funds.

Consequently, many individuals have chosen to receive their medical care in metropolitan area, specifically Denver. One goal of NCAP is to provide those services being sought elsewhere. Outside of the services provided by the Northern Colorado AIDS Project, there are no HIV/AIDS case management services and limited psychological counseling and/or support groups. These funds would continue current services and allow for expansion. Currently, the case manager/executive director's time is limited due to funds. An increase in funds will allow for a full time equivalent position. This will in turn yield more comprehensive services. Explanation of the Plan The Northern Colorado AIDS Project (NCAP) will provide case management, buddy program training in Fort Morgan, Greeley, and Fort Collins, psychological counseling, support groups and consortia development and coordination. Case management services will provide an avenue for clients to access needed services and resources. Often clients are overwhelmed with the complexities of the disease that they need help accessing services. The coordinated services of NCAP help relieve some of the burden of the client and the family. Additional buddy program training will allow for more volunteers. The buddy program was established to give a helping hand to those HIV/AIDS individuals in need. Expansion of Services These funds would continue current services and allow for expansion. Currently, the case manager/executive director's time is limited due to funds. An increase in funds will allow for a full time equivalent position. This will in turn yield more comprehensive services. Furthermore, it is expected that 24 new clients will be served in the upcoming year. Quality Assurance Quality assurance will be insured by use of several evaluation tools. To evaluate the success in responding to the needs of the client, the case manager will assess and document the needs during the intake interview. This will establish a baseline for evaluation. As time progresses, the needs will be reviewed by the client, the case manager and select consortium members. The executive director, case manager, and contract personnel will be evaluated annually to assure quality of services performed. Staff will remain update on HIV/AIDS by attending seminars and lectures. The Networking Agreement will be used to confirm quality care and services between agencies. Likewise, the Northern Colorado AIDS Project has plans to develop a cost effectiveness evaluation tool. To guarantee confidentially, client files will be locked at all times with limited access. Only select personnel will have access to client files. 6 940,1.3 From ; COPYCO Printing PHONE No. ; 226 4236 Mar.21 1994 12:44PM Pet Nnrthnrn Colorado AIDS Projoct.
