Individuals included in KOIN are part of some of the state's most difficult to reach populations such as: deaf/hard of hearing, blind or visuallyimpaired, limited English proficiency speakers, individuals with low literacy levels or the illiterate, elderly/children, people with disabilities, remote rural residents, and people who are economically disadvantaged.

Title Providing Care to Special Needs Residents During Times of Disaster Presented by Sue Bridges, BSN, RN, MSA, OCN and Amy Garcie, MSN, APRN-BC, ACNP, CEN, 9/25/2006 Source Format National Rural Health Association (NRHA) Presentation
Description The NRHA is a national nonprofit, membership organization that provides leadership on rural health issues with the mission of improving the health of rural Americans and providing leadership on rural health issues through advocacy, communications, education and research. The purpose of this presentation was to: 1) define special needs residents; 2) list at least two differences between the different types of shelters; and 3) describe the impact a special needs registry could have on rural residents. Also discussed were lessons learned from 9-11, including the importance of equitable access, not waiting until disaster, starting early with outreach, and addressing disability needs. Lessons learned from the 2005 hurricane season were the importance of defining special needs communities, conducting pre-event planning with community partners, coordinating with agencies caring for patients with special needs, incorporating special needs populations in emergency management plans and exercising those plans, preparing educational materials, identifying available resources to support the shelter, and designing plans to allow for maximum flexibility. A Special Needs Registry would allow emergency personnel to locate individuals with disabilities in each parish in an emergency and understand their individual needs.

The National Association for Rural Mental Health (NARMH) Report
Description This report on challenges facing rural mental health is based on the New Freedom Initiative announced in 2001 by President George W. Bush to promote increased access to educational and employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. The findings of the President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health confirmed that there are barriers and unmet needs which impede care for individuals with mental illness and that the vast majority of Americans living in underserved, rural and remote areas experience disparities in mental health services. The Commission concluded that: “rural issues are often misunderstood, minimized, and not considered in forming national mental health policy. Too often, policies and practices developed for metropolitan areas are erroneously assumed to apply to rural areas” (Commission Report, 2003). Despite that rural areas have incidents of serious mental and behavioral health problems equal to or greater than urban areas, there exists an insufficient volume and range of services available to treat mental and behavioral health problems in rural areas. Not only do rural areas have shortages of behavioral health professionals and specialized behavioral health services, but the turnover rate for service providers is high, and providers that remain often express feelings of isolation from other health professionals.

Description The National Rural Health Association has maintained concern for the health and mental health care needs of rural veterans for many years. This testimony discusses VA successes in providing quality care for rural veterans and suggestions for further improvements in quality of care. NRHA requests that the Committee consider these steps that would improve quality and access to care for rural veterans: 1) increase the numbers of Vet Centers, Outreach Health Centers, and CBOCs in rural areas, 2) increase health care access points for rural veterans by building on current successes of both VA service approaches and existing rural health approaches, 3) increase the number of VHA Traumatic Brain Injury Case Managers in predominately rural states, and 4) use the high quality of the VA system to provide targeted and culturally competent care to rural, minority, and women veterans and to train future rural health providers in these rural VA facilities. The testimony stresses the importance of: 1) providing services geared toward traumatic brain injury, 2) increasing funding for centers to hire family therapists, and 3) addressing the needs of rural minority veterans and women.
