Northern Colorado Care Consortium Proposal
Narrative
Description of the locality to be served:
Geographic boundaries:
The geographic boundaries to be served by the Northern Colorado Care Consortium encompasses
Weld, Larimer and Morgan Counties. Weld County is primarily an agricultural area, consisting of
numerous rural communities covering 4,034 square miles. Approximately 45% of Weld County
residents live in communities with populations less that 2,500. Morgan county has a population
of 21,939 as a whole which is dispersed over rural and agricultural areas. Larimer county con-
tains large agricultural and mountainous regions. Larimer county has a more cosmopolitan
atmosphere with one identified gay bars. Even so, HIV/AIDS infected people are still not willing
to share the knowledge of their infection with the community. Due to the conservative nature of
these counties, this is a problem of great concern since the gay and lesbian population is under-
ground. In addition there is concern about confidentiality and having access to the latest care
techniques. Because these areas are rural, access to services and resources is limited and often
difficult to obtain.
Characteristics of the population:
The incidence of AIDS and HIV infection has been greater among Hispanics and Blacks than any
other ethnic minority group. Weld and Morgan counties both have a considerable number of
Hispanics who are transient migrant workers. Of 57 AIDS cases diagnosed in Weld, Larimer and
Morgan Counties, six have been persons of Hispanic origin. The total population of Weld county
is 131,821. The race breakdown is 68% Caucasian, 21%Hispanic origin and 11% other. The
total population of Morgan county is 21,939. The race breakdown for Morgan county is 70%
Caucasian, 18%Hispanic origin and 12% other. Larimer county has a total population of
186,136 of which 88% is Caucasian, 7%Hispanic and 5% other. All three counties have the
same percent of males and females. 51% females and 49 % males. In 6 months of the 1992-1993
funding period, the Regional Resource Coordinator and the Case Manager provided services to
78%HIV+males, 7%HIV+ females and 15% family members of an HIV infected individual. Of
the clients served by the Regional Resource Coordinator and the Case Manager, approximately
14% are children, either infected or affected by HIV. This represents only a small portion of the
population in the three counties that need the services provided by the HIV Regional Resource
Coordinator and the Case Manager.
Existing services:
The existing HIV services in Larimer include the Northern Colorado AIDS Project and Larimer
County AIDS Coalition. NCAP provides case management services, a buddy program, support
services and financial assistance for individuals who are affected by HIV in Larimer county.
Larimer County AIDS Coalition is an organization that provides education to the communities in
Larimer county. HIV services in Weld county consists of the HIV Regional Resource Coordina-
tor who coordinates resources and provides case management services for Weld and Morgan
County. Weld County AIDS Coalition provides educational support for Weld county.
9?O.1 le
All three counties offer confidential HIV counseling and testing. Various agencies in the three
counties offer services to HIV infected individuals and families. These services include, but are
not limited to, hospice, home health care, respite care, drug and alcohol treatment, spiritual
support financial assistance, transportation services and other services not directly related to HIV
infection, but are needed by this population.
Service gaps:
In the past, an issue with many individuals diagnosed with HIV in northern Colorado is the lack of
sufficient services and health professionals available to HIV infected individuals and their families.
Consequently, many individuals diagnosed in northern Colorado have chosen to move to more
metropolitan areas. In the last 2 years the Case Manager at the Northern Colorado AIDS Project
(NCAP) and the Regional Resource Coordinator have been working to provide better case
management and community liaison for infected individuals to help ensure a complete continuum
of care for the infected individual and their family. However, gaps still exist in northern Colorado.
Some of the unmet needs identified by HIV infected individuals and care givers include: lack of
access to psycho-social support services for the infected individual and the family, volunteer
buddies, and a wider choice of physicians, specialists and dentists in northern Colorado that are
willing to provide services to those who are infected with HIV. Physicians and dentists in north-
ern Colorado still have a fear of being labeled as the "AIDS doctor/dentist" and fear they may
loose other clients if the community becomes aware that they treat HIV infected individuals.
Description of the service plan:
The planning process:
The members of the Northern Colorado Care Consortium, which consists of public service pro-
viders, community based organizations providing HIV services, and individuals infected with
HIV, were surveyed to determine what services needed to be added to the current list of services
and to help determine goals for the next funding period. The clients of the Case Manager and the
Regional Resource Coordinator were also surveyed. The client survey asked clients to identify
current needs and what needs were not being met. From these surveys the Consortium developed
a plan for service for the April 1993-March 1994 funding period. A list of goals and objectives to
improve the quality, availability and organization of health care and support services for individu-
als and families with HIV were developed. One of the main goals of the Consortium will be to
develop a tool which the Regional Resource Coordinator and the Case Manager will use to assess
the needs of the clients during the initial visit with the client. This data will be used to establish a
baseline for evaluation to determine the success the Consortium has in responding to the identified
needs of the clients. The Regional Resource Coordinator will establish a outreach site in to
provide case management in the rural communities of Morgan county. This will enable the
Regional Resource Coordinator to link clients in rural areas to support services and medical care
in a more timely manner.
930'..40
The Service Plan:
The purpose of the Northern Colorado Care Consortium is to improve the quality, availability and
organization of health care and support services for individuals and families with HIV disease in
Weld, Morgan and Larimer counties regardless of race, color, age, handicap, religion or inability
to pay for services.
The overall goals of the Consortium are:
* To provide case management services to HIV infected individuals and their families to
ensure that the needs of the individual are being met.
* To increase the knowledge of resources available to individuals infected or affected by
HIV in Larimer, Weld and Morgan counties.
* To address the specific needs of women, children and family members infected or
affected by HIV.
* To increase the number of service providers willing to provide services for HIV infected
individuals and their families.
* To coordinate a cohesive continuum of care for HIV infected individuals and their
families and to reduce the duplication of services.
The Weld County Health Department will serve as the lead agency, receiving funds on behalf of
the Northern Colorado Care Consortium. Two positions will be funded through this grant. The
HIV Regional Resource Coordinator out of Weld County Health Department and a Case Man-
ager from the Northern Colorado AIDS Project (NCAP). These two positions are similar in that
both positions provide case management services, however the boundaries in which they serve are
different. The Regional Resource Coordinator provides services for clients in Weld and Morgan
counties. The Case Manager from NCAP serves clients in Larimer county. Case management
services being defined as assessing the individual needs of a client, the provision of advise and
assistance obtaining medical, social, community, legal, financial and other needed services. The
Case Manager and the Regional Resource Coordinator coordinates all aspects of care and works
with the client and family members to develop and implement a plan for service. The case manag-
ers also monitor the client to ensure the efficacy of the plan.
Beyond case management services the HIV Regional Resource Coordinator(RRC) serves and the
contact person regarding the Ryan White grant. The RRC coordinates and disseminates resources
for Consortium members, clients and service providers in Weld, Larimer and Morgan counties.
At this time, the RRC also coordinates the Northern Colorado Care Consortium under the guid-
ance of the Executive Board. The RRC provides a link for Consortium members to assist in
keeping the lines of communication open between member agencies. The office technician at the
Weld County Health Department provides the support staff for the consortium. The office techni-
cian takes the minutes at Consortium and Board meetings and distributes Consortium information.
The RRC works closely with the office technician. The Regional Resource Coordinator attends
meetings regarding HIV resources, treatment, care and education all over Colorado. The RRC
930140
then shares this information with the rest of the Consortium important information regarding new
resources or services available to HIV+ clients and family members obtained from these meetings.
Member agencies also share information and resources with the Consortium.
The Case Manager at Northern Colorado AIDS Project, in addition to providing case manage-
ment services, oversees the "buddy" program to make sure that the client and the volunteer are
working well together. The case manager also collects local resources for clients in Larimer
county. She shares this information with the Regional Resource Coordinator to include in the
resource guide for clients and Consortium members.
Reaching and serving newly diagnosed individuals:
There is a system currently established to notify newly diagnosed individuals of the services of the
Consortium. One way of notifying newly diagnosed individuals of the services is through the
State Disease Control Specialist for Northern Colorado. This person is responsible for interview-
ing individuals who have recently tested positive for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.
When this person contacts a new HIV+individual she informs that person of the services of the
consortium and give that person the number of the Regional Resource coordinator for persons
living in Weld or Morgan counties, or the Case Manager for those individuals that reside in
Larimer county. A second way to notify individuals is through the county health department. In
each county the health department provides HIV counseling and testing. The health departments
are aware of the services and will inform an individual who receives a positive test result about the
services available. Physicians are also a major source of access to newly HIV/AIDS diagnosed
persons. The RRC and the Case Manager will continue to keep in close contact with the provid-
ers in the three counties to maintain this mechanism of referral. Other service providers and
various agencies in the counties are aware of the services the Consortium, the Regional Resource
Coordinator and the Case Manager provide. When a person they are serving is identified as being
HIV+they are informed of the services available to them. The RRC and the Case Manager are
constantly seeking new avenues for promoting their services and the services of the Consortium.
PSA and news releases are done periodically to help increase community awareness.
Service Integration:
Referrals between agencies are made on a case by case basis. The Regional Resource Coordina-
tor and the Case Manager have established contacts with many agencies in their respective com-
munities. This person is a point of contact when a referral to that agency is needed. As new
services are identified, the Case Manager and the Regional Resource Coordinator will inform
agencies and clients. Case management services are provided by the Case Manager and the
Regional Resource Coordinator. An initial interview is done with a newly diagnosed individual.
This interview helps to asses the client's needs and personal support system. The Case Manager
and the Regional Resource Coordinator work with the client and his/her personal support system
to develop an individualized and comprehensive service plan. The Case Manager and the Re-
gional
Resource Coordinator help link the client with health care and psycho-social services and
coordinate access to other support services to help provide a complete continuum of care for that
individual. The Case Manager and the Regional Resource Coordinator also develop a system
with the client for monitoring and periodic evaluation and follow-up to ensure that the client's
needs are being met.

Description of Consortium Membership:
Consortium members and services:
As members of the Northern Colorado Care Consortium Normedco and Hospice of Northern
Colorado provide home health care and respite care for HIV/AIDS infected individuals. These
services are crucial to the NCCC because they help HIV infected individuals remain independent,
and provides cost effective alternatives to hospitalization. Hospice offers 24-hour on-call nursing
support, skilled registered nurses, certified home health aides, social work, trained volunteers,
dietary counselors, and other support services. If home health care is not an option, the Bonell
Good Samaritan Center has facilities available for respite care. The Bonell Good Samaritan
Center is the only nursing home in Weld county willing to work with HIV/AIDS patients at this
time.
Hospice of Northern Colorado, Northern Colorado AIDS Project and the Weld County AIDS
Coalition offer support groups for persons affected by HIV. Each of these organizations have
organized support for family members as well as persons infected with HIV.
Island Grove Regional Treatment Center, Inc. encompasses residential, outpatient and detox
services for substance abusers in northern Colorado, including IV drug users. Through education
and support, Island Grove will be able to refer clients to the Regional Resource Coordinator and
the Case Manager, and offer support services to the Northern Colorado Care Consortium.
Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, University of Northern Colorado's Health Center,
Northeast Colorado Health Department, Lairmer County Health Department and Weld County
Health Department all offer confidential and accurate information of birth control methods and
reproductive health care. In addition, these agencies offer HIV counseling and testing.
Other educational endeavors such as outreach or bilingual AIDS education falls under the direc-
tion of the Weld County AIDS Coalition, Larimer County AIDS Coalition, Weld County Health
Department, Northeast Colorado Health Department, University of Northern Colorado, Planned
Parenthood, Island Grove Regional Treatment Center, Centennial Area Health Education Center,
and the Hospice of Northern Colorado.
The Northern Colorado Care Consortium meets the third Wednesday of every other month.
These meetings consist primarily of resource sharing and networking to ensure that services are
not being duplicated and that the needs of the clients are being met. The NCCC has established
an executive board that meets the opposite months of the Consortium. The board serves as the
decision making group of the consortium. They provide guidance and ensure that the Consortium
is running in accordance with the grant. The Regional Resource Coordinator is in the process of
developing a membership directory that will be given to each participating member of the Consor-
tium. This will allow each member to be aware of the services of the Consortium and to help
facilitate a referral system.
03"0140
Description of member agencies receiving HIV care consortium funds:
Two agencies will be receiving HIV care consortium funds. The Weld County Health Depart-
ment will be the lead agency receiving funds. The Weld County Health Department is a county
agency supported by county tax dollars, state and federal grants, and fees for services provided.
The mission of the Weld County Health Department is "to prevent disease and to promote the
health of county citizens". This is accomplished by monitoring the environment of the county and
the health of its residents; by development of policies and programs; and by assuring that the basic
health services are being provided. Currently, the Weld County Health Department provides free
HIV testing and counseling. The Regional Resource Coordinator will receive funds to provide
case management in Weld and Morgan Counties. The Regional Resource Coordinator is also
responsible for informing NCCC members of new health care resources available to HIV+clients.
This includes collecting and disseminating any new information concerning programs, protocols,
new service provider referrals, or legal issues. This information is made available at the Consor-
tium meetings as well as through information packet to the NCCC members.
The Northern Colorado AIDS Project will receive consortium money on a contractual basis for a
case manager in Larimer county. NCAP is a community based, non-profit organization commit-
ted to meeting the challenges posed by the AIDS epidemic. NCAP is primarily run by volunteers
and offers emotional and financial support, in-home needs assessments, and access to a variety of
programs for people living with HIV. The "buddy" program matches volunteers with HIV clients
who need help with day-to-day living assistance or those who occasionally have special needs.
NCAP offers financial assistance in the form of small one-time grants to those clients who need
help with living expenses.
Form of agreement between agencies:
The lead agency, Weld County Health Department, and the contractual agency, Northern Colo-
rado AIDS Project have an agreement in the form of a contract. Please see the attached copy of
the 1992-1993 contract in the appendix. The contract will be the same with few revisions made
to reflect the objectives of this grant contract.
Reporting and Evaluation Plan:
Plan for data collection:
The HIV Regional Resource Coordinator and the Case Manager will collect data according to the
Uniform Reporting System (URS) The Case Manager and the RRC conduct an initial interview
to establish an individual as a client. During this visit, the information required by the URS is
obtained. This information is reported to the Governor's AIDS Council on a quarterly basis.
The RRC and the Case Manager will also collect information form clients to identify the number
of new clients, the number of client contacts, the place where the client was referred from, agen-
cies and service providers that referrals are made to and the needs of the clients.
930140
Plan for evaluating the success in responding to the needs:
To evaluate the success in responding to the needs of the clients, the RRC and the Case Manager
will assess the needs of the client during the intake interview. The list of needs of the clients will
be documented. This will establish a baseline for an evaluation. As the needs of the clients are
met, this is also documented. The evaluation committee will look at the needs of the clients and
the client needs that were met. The evaluation committee will compare this information to the
services available in the counties. The evaluation committee will use this information to evaluate
the success the Regional Resource Coordinator and the Case Manager had in meeting the needs
of the clients. This information will also help to determine the gaps in services that may exist in
the three counties.
Plan for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of the program:
To determine if the money used for this program is being spent effectively the Consortium will
look at many different factors. The Case Manager and the Regional Resource Coordinator help
clients find cost-effective alternatives to hospitalization and expensive treatments. The Consor-
tium will look at the cost per client, the cost of home-based care compared to hospitalvation.
The Consortium will also research the cost of the case management services of other programs.
