HHS-DPBH - COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES
101-3224
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Community Health Nursing (CHN) Program provides public health services in fourteen of Nevada's rural counties. Eleven of these counties have community health nursing clinics;
Elko, Eureka, and Storey Counties have Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) but no CHN clinics. The CHN program provides public health preparedness (PHP) coverage and
epidemiology assistance in twelve counties; Lyon and Douglas Counties began receiving their PHP and epidemiology coverage by Carson City Health and Human Services in the fall of
2011. Essential public health nursing services include adult and child immunizations, Early Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) examinations, including lead testing;
family planning, cancer screening, and identification/treatment of communicable diseases such as Tuberculosis (TB), Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) and Human Immunodeficiency
Virus (HIV). Two Community Health Nurses (CHNs) function as the school health nurse in those rural districts without school nurses (Lincoln and Esmeralda Counties).
In SFY12, the CHN program started formal relationships with the Nevada Statewide Coalition Partnership through subgrants. The goals of these subgrants are to provide outreach and
education to the community so that the CHNs can be in the clinics providing direct services.
In SFY12, the CHN program received federal family planning dollars to expand the practice management system software, Lytec, to purchase LytecMD, an electronic health record program
that meets the federal requirements for meaningful use. This system is fully operational, and captures time and effort, service reports, accounts receivable documentation and reports, and
many other useful features to assure the clinics are individually and collectively maximizing their revenue enhancement opportunities, and complying with federal regulations.
