It is necessary to review the roles and responsibilities of the health professionals currently involved in centralized intake processes to determine whether they are in fact the most appropriate and relevant provider to deliver intake services or whether there are alternative providers that may fill these roles to improve quality and gain efficiencies.
In June 2015, ICE issued a Transgender Care Memo, which put in place intake processes for detainees who identify as transgender and called for the establishment of a "Transgender Classification and Care Committee" to evaluate housing and security needs.
Our research focused on an in-depth assessment of two well-established models currently in place in Alberta to 1) enhance our understanding of the roles and responsibilities of staff in current intake processes, 2) identify workforce issues and opportunities within the current models, and 3) inform the potential use of alternative providers in the proposed centralized intake model.
The purpose was threefold: 1) to enhance our understanding of the roles and responsibilities of health-care providers and support staff in current intake processes, 2) to identify workforce issues and opportunities within the current models, and 3) to inform the potential use of alternative providers in the above proposed centralized intake model to improve access and reduce wait times.
The use of a trained physiotherapist or advanced practice nurse in the intake process of CIACs in Ontario proved successful thereby lending evidence to support the incorporation of an interprofessional team in centralized intake models [ 38].
The model has proved useful in identifying the role of pipe resonance in the intake process and has led to the development of a simple hypothesis to explain the structure of the intake pressure time history: the early stages of the intake process are governed by the instantaneous values of the piston velocity and the open area under the valve.
This suggests that routine opt-out HIV testing in jails should be offered as early in the intake process as possible.
We populated a table template with a description of the various tasks in the current centralized intake processes as well as the current providers associated with each task.
Advocates say that policies put in place by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg have made it harder to gain entrance to the system, but for those who do get in, the intake process generally lasts 6 to 10 hours, and most families find a place the day they apply.
As such, reallocating resources to stress areas in the intake process created the greatest benefits for at-risk clients.
