Regional Office Center Assessments • Every 1 to 2 years, Health Specialists and Assessors visit each center as part of a Regional Office Center Assessment (ROCA) team • ROCA tools will be distributed to you and your staff to complete and return to the ROCA team prior to their visit • Using the Program Assessment Guide (PAG), in conjunction with the Policy and Requirements Handbook (PRH), this team will conduct an overall assessment of your center’s health and wellness program

  11. Regional Office Center Assessments(continued) • Assessments highlight the strengths of your program and provide feedback about areas that could be changed or improved • Expect to have your health records, appointment books, and other records audited

Center Health and Wellness Team • All centers have the following staff as part of their health and wellness team: • Registered nurse (RN) • Staff nurse • Physician • Mental health consultant • TEAP specialist • Dentist and oral health staff • Disability coordinator • Minimum health and wellness center staffing levels are determined by the center’s contracted student enrollment capacity

  13. Primary Objective of Job Corps Health and Wellness Program • Improve each student’s employability by establishing and maintaining the student at his or her optimal health level • Achieve this through provision and/or coordination of health care including case management of chronic illness, promotion of self management of health care, and through preventive health education to instill good wellness habits and prevent avoidable illness, injury, and death • Mentor, model, and monitor good employability skills

  14. Wellness Philosophy • Allows the roles of the health care practitioners to be redefined so they impact the student’s entire Job Corps experience, including the body, mind, heart, and spirit • Health care practitioners interact with students not only when the student seeks health care due to illness, but also during times of good health • Health staff may take on roles ofteacher, mentor, role model, or advisor

  15. Important Resources • PRH—The Policy and Requirements Handbook contains the rules by which all centers operate; Chapter 6 (Sections 6.10-6.12) provides policy on ensuring students receive health and wellness services, support, and education that will enhance their employability and encourage and maintain a healthy lifestyle • PAG—The Program Assessment Guide is a companion to the PRH and contains the parameters by which the quality of each center’s program is measured; it can also be used on an ongoing basis as a tool for determining program effectiveness

  16. Important Resources (continued) • COPs/SOPs—Center Operating Procedures and/or Standard Operating Procedures for the health and wellness program; these procedures define how your program will operate on a day-to-day basis, describe staff roles and responsibilities, and provide guidance on center specific documentation, reporting, and communication protocols • TAGs—Technical Assistance Guides are designed to aid center staff in meeting health and wellness program requirements; they are how-to guides that offer many suggestions but no additional program requirements

  17. Important Resources (continued) • DRGs—Desk Reference Guides provide information and strategies to meet and exceed health-related Policy and Requirements Handbook (PRH) requirements, and contain all health and wellness program-related documents and forms. The DRGs will help new center health and wellness staff learn the foundations of their position, and experienced health and wellness staff will find the central location of forms and information useful. DRGs are located on the Job Corps Community Website under the Health and Wellness Tab. Presently there are DRGs available for HWMs, center physicians, CMHCs, center dentists, and center disability coordinators.

  18. Health Directives • PRH Change Notices—Contain new or revised policy with instructions to delete, replace, or add pages to the PRH • Program Instructions—Provide one-time instructions with a designated expiration date and usually require center response (e.g., survey) • Information Notices—Provide one-time announcements with information that is of interest to centers (e.g., data summaries, meeting or training announcement)
