Project Health
Overview
Project Health is a community partnership to improve access to health care for low-income, uninsured residents of Indianapolis. It combines donated physician care, hospital services, medication assistance, and case management in a manner that maximizes existing community resources and enhances coordination among service providers. Enabling patients to receive timely and appropriate care, Project Health aims to improve the health and well being of community members as well as to produce cost savings for local medical institutions.
Physicians' Commitment
In April of 2002, the Indianapolis Medical Society overwhelmingly voted to support Project Health by building a network of volunteer physicians to serve low-income, uninsured patients.
Physicians can choose a different number of patients to accept - any commitment is appreciated.
Role of Project Health
- To help uninsured Marion County residents find the healthcare they need
- To reduce frivolous emergency room visits
- To help doctors help their patients get all of the care they need beyond the doctors' office; such as specialty care, labs, diagnostic tests, surgery, durable medical equipment and help obtaining medications.
- To help those patients who fall through the gaps of the system - those who are not poor enough to qualify for other public programs, but who still are uninsured and in need of care with no where else to go - particularly for specialty care.
Project Health Will
- Screen clients for eligibility and ensure all clients sign a patient responsibility contract.
- Coordinate referrals centrally to assure equitable distribution of patients among all participating physicians and to assure that pledges are not exceeded.
- Provide clients with case management services to assist with reminder calls, transportation, and other necessary support.
- Establish relationships with community partners to provide laboratory, xray, diagnostic services, pharmaceuticals, and hospital care that patients need.
- Track the value of all services donated by physicians and publicize the data in a prominent way.
