46 Areas being addressed in current guidelines Laboratory Testing & Disease Specific Sections Overseas & domestic malaria Overseas & domestic Intestinal Parasites Hepatitis A-E General HIV Lead STI/syphilis Vitamin D
47 Future directions and Challenges Increase post-arrival surveillance Increase in population specific guidelines Flexibility--from reactive to pro-active. Shift from domestic to more predeparture screening and treatment Increased communication across systems (e.g. from overseas to postarrival clinicians). Begin to work with non-refugee immigrant populations.
48 Initiatives Increased pre-departure interventions Centers of Excellence Dissemination of best practices Guideline development/improvement Increased surveillance Improved medical education Train persons from communities to serve communities
49 Centers of Excellence in Refugee Health ( ) q Surveillance/epidemiology of refugee populations Building a data repository for refugee health data from post-arrival screens Conducting clinical quality improvement evaluations on Hep B, LTBI, and chronic conditions in pediatric patients q Guideline Development and Revisions New Guidelines: Preventative Medicine, Women s Health, Pediatrics Revisions to Current CDC Guidelines: Mental Health, General, Hepatitis, Parasitics
50 Strengthening Surveillance for Diseases Among Newly-Arrived Immigrants and Refugees ( ) Enhancing state or local refugee health surveillance systems by Automating processes Linking to other surveillance systems within a state Providing large dataset to describe refugee populations
