Innovative ways to reach and support the health needs of the homeless population are required as traditional methods have been largely ineffective. Establishing care partnerships is challenging because of limited health care resources and the stigma surrounding this population. Improving health access and outcomes for persons experiencing homelessness will decrease the financial burden placed on provincial health authorities by reducing Emergency Department (ED) visits and avoiding inpatient admissions. An overarching goal of this project in addressing the specific health needs of those experiencing homelessness is offering low barrier healthcare through a clinic linked with a housing first program. 000002932 540__ $$fCC BY 000002932 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002932 650__ $$aMass Screening$$021856 000002932 650__ $$aHealth Plan Implementation$$019891 000002932 650__ $$aNursing$$023082 000002932 650__ $$aDelivery of Health Care$$017452 000002932 650__ $$aIll-Housed Persons$$020282 000002932 651__ $$aCanada$$040934 000002932 651__ $$aBritish Columbia$$040924 000002932 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000002932 7001_ $$aKatz, Sherry$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002932 8564_ $$935f1eae1-6b8e-4891-9741-bf2da7b77c8b$$s399166$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2932/files/3702_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$24dbcd25dd8d50f40f4afdab1f3f5bef5$$31 000002932 905__ $$a/rest/prod/hh/63/sw/19/hh63sw19n 000002932 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2932$$pstudent-work 000002932 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000002932 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
