| 990, Part III, #4a | Federally Funded HIV AIDS Prevention and Care Programs The HIV Uninsured Care Programs provide medications and medical care to uninsured and underinsured New York State residents living with HIV/AIDS. The programs are managed by the New York State Department of Health, AIDS Institute. Health Research, Inc. (HRI) serves as the fiscal administrator for the programs. The AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) began in 1987 as part of a national program to provide free HIV/AIDS drugs to low-income individuals not covered by Medicaid or adequate third-party insurance. New York State expanded the program to include ambulatory care and home care services, as well as insurance continuation. The programs are funded through partnerships between the State and federal governments and between the State and the New York City, Long Island and Lower Hudson Ryan White Part A regions. Both federal and state statute/regulations govern the programs. The federal Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009 includes statutory authority for AIDS Drug Assistance Programs throughout the nation, and associated appropriations provide federal funding to support the programs. In addition, State regulation in NYCRR, Title 10, Sub-part 43-2 governs the application and eligibility determination process and establishes the rights and responsibilities of applicants, participants, and providers. New York State's HIV Uninsured Care Programs are the most comprehensive in the nation, offering a full scope of services to persons with HIV/AIDS. More than 110,000 individuals with HIV/AIDS have received services since program inception, and more than 25,500 persons will be served in 2013-14. | |

| 990, Part III, #4c | Public Health and Health Care Emergency Preparedness Health Research, Inc. grant funds support the efforts of the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Office of Health Emergency Preparedness (OHEP). OHEP has worked with the State Office of Emergency Management (State OEM) and other State Agencies, Local Health Departments (LHD) and private and public sector partners to build a solid emergency preparedness and response foundation to respond to any crisis or emergent situation in the State. Based on an assessment of NYSDOH capabilities and gaps, and in light of continuing diminishing PHEP funding, NYSDOH has carefully reviewed its progress in designing an integrated and comprehensive health emergency preparedness structure and has strategically prioritized future efforts. A Five year Plan was developed that prioritizes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Public Health Preparedness, and Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) Healthcare Preparedness and Joint Capabilities. NYSDOH developed a Five Year Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan directs funding to capabilities that enable emergency planning and response efforts to be enhanced or sustained, with a focus on those areas that are most critical for the NYSDOH's public health emergency preparedness efforts. 1. NYSDOH continues to sustain its fully developed Incident Management System (lMS). In 2013-2014, NYSDOH will sustain its current operational capacity to respond to an emergency incident. The Office of Health Emergency Preparedness (OHEP) will continue to cross train staff on response roles including planning, logistics and operations. Staff will be trained on situation report writing or situation report reviewing/approving. SMEs throughout NYSDOH will also be trained on roles and responsibilities during an emergency through existing biweekly subject matter lead meetings. 2.The need for new modes of local Points of Dispensing (POD)/clinic operations will be explored and will focus on researching alternative dispensing strategies such as closed PODs operated by large businesses or doctors' offices. In 2013- 2014, NYSDOH OHEP will ensure local jurisdictions improve on their abilities to respond to an event requiring Distribution and Dispensing of MCM. NYSDOH OHEP will: - Review LHDs MCM Distribution and Dispensing Plans and provide feedback to assist local jurisdictions in improving their operational plans. - Assist LHDs in completing three (3) of the five (5) identified drills to test operational capacity to alert and respond to a public health event. - Assist LHDs with updating POD specific element information. - Provide access to Mass Antibiotic Dispensing Train-the-Trainer (MADT) course. - Provide optional monthly training on MCM Distribution and Dispensing topics. 3. NYSDOH continues to support the Medical Emergency Response Inventory System (MERITS). MERITS is an electronic inventory management system that supports the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) and the State's Medical Emergency Response Cache (MERC) warehouse operations. This includes processing orders, receiving, shipping, reporting and maintaining a master inventory of all assets. In 2013-2014, NYSDOH OHEP will sustain medical material management and distribution capacity to respond to a public health threat with medical countermeasures and/or durable medical equipment to provide for a timely and effective response. 4. NYSDOH continues to support informatics infrastructure in order to provide systems and applications for emergency preparedness, response and recovery. NYSDOH will sustain and improve systems for information exchange. In-place architecture will be leveraged and new components added that link NYSDOH with its emergency preparedness and response partners and promote the exchange of data with stakeholders, bi-directionally, while ensuring appropriate privacy protection. 5. Efforts to sustain and build public health laboratory testing capability of the NYSDOH Wadsworth Center (WC), to include testing of clinical, environmental, food and water samples. In 2013-2014, laboratory testing will continue to be a priority area including sustaining laboratory testing, coordination and communication efforts and building additional capabilities. This will include: Laboratory Response Network (LRN)-Bioterrorism (B) goals include rapid testing using LRN protocols and reporting to submitters to provide information for prompt decision making. LRN-B will sustain the ability for contacting the sentinel laboratories in NYS through the Health Commerce System (HeS). LRN- Chemical (C) goals include the adoption of technology to process and maintain the positive identification of the large number of specimens that are handled during surge testing, and to use the reference materials that are now supplied by the CDC for method improvement and the full validation of analytical protocols. 6. The NYSDOH will sustain and enhance its communicable disease surveillance systems that collect information from multiple data streams on a daily basis to ensure a baseline of epidemiologic data for NYS. NYSDOH will sustain the capability to analyze and interpret epidemiologic data that is critical to the practice of public health. In 2013-2014, NYSDOH will enhance the Communicable Disease Electronic Surveillance System (CDESS), Outbreak Management System (OMS), Clinical Data Management System (CDMS), Electronic Clinical Laboratory Reporting System (ECLRS) and Electronic Syndromic Surveillance System (ESSS) to improve their integration, increase user efficiency and timeliness of information transmittal during routine surveillance work and public health emergencies and improve data quality. Program Period Successes: In NYS, Hurricane Sandy was the largest emergency response effort since 9/11. On October 26,2012, the NYSDOH Incident Management Team was activated in preparation for the hurricane landfall predicted on October 29,2012. Although there was no mandatory evacuation order given for healthcare facilities, 9 hospitals, 25 long-term care facilities, and 22 adult care facilities evacuated immediately prior to, during and after the hurricane hit. A total of 7,820 patients and residents (6,001 from New York City (NYC); the remainder from Long Island) were evacuated without any loss of life. The response illustrates the work accomplished across capabilities. Based on a series of 15 Hurricane Sandy hotwashes, improvement recommendations are being implemented; including the establishment of the Administrative Preparedness workgroup to address areas around policy, procedural and administrative matters which will serve not just for hurricane preparedness but for any hazard impacting NYS. | |
