Project Access-New Haven (PA-NH) is committed to rigorous program monitoring and evaluation to assess progress, measure key outcomes and impact, and inform quality improvement. In addition to ongoing monitoring and evaluation, we have partnered with Yale University researchers on several initiatives designed to increase knowledge and drive innovation around the use of patient navigator and community health worker interventions to improve healthcare delivery and outcomes for vulnerable and underserved populations.
We have presented our work at several national conferences, including the annual meetings of the American Public Health Association, AcademyHealth, Communities Joined in Action, Society for General Internal Medicine, Society for Academic Emergency Medicine, and Association of Oncology Nurse Navigators. Our results have also been published in peer-reviewed journals, including Health Services Research, Connecticut Medicine, Medical Care, Journal of Emergency Medicine, Academic Emergency Medicine, and the Journal of Healthcare for the Poor and Underserved.
