SEPA Lead and Healthy Homes
Program
Our program focuses on improving environmental health in
households with expecting mothers and/or a child under seven
when there is:
– a risk for lead poisoning
– the mother or child is suffering from asthma
– or there are other home health hazards to be addressed.
We can provide a free home visit, including comprehensive
participant education on how to improve the health of the home
and free healthy homes supplies (such as mattress covers and
cleaning supplies).

Asthma-Related Medical Visits
Change in rate of asthma-related medical visits over any 3-month
period before and after program participation.
Type of Visit Statistic P-value
Doctor S= -309 .0005*
Emergency Room S= -162 .0752
Hospital S= -173 .009*
There were reductions in the median rate across all types of
medical visits and it was statistically significantly for doctor
visits and hospital admissions.

It works! It is a cost effective intervention.
Must address both housing condition and residents’ behavior.
Important to involve child’s medical providers.
Important to allow residents to determine their Healthy
Homes priorities.
Must be culturally appropriate and language accessible.
More evidence-based research needed on reducing second
hand smoke in private homes of low income residents.
Funding is needed to support program expansion.
Homeowners need resources to improve housing.
Landlords should be required to adhere to their legal
responsibilities under the Philadelphia law.
Retaliatory evictions are illegal and tenants need adequate
representation.
Next Steps-Goals to Help Philadelphia’s Children
Partnerships
with community organizations, health care
providers, government agencies, health insurers,
housing organizations, landlord associations and
legal services.
Sustainable Funding
for services and home repairs to reduce the
health and safety hazards in homes and support
families’ healthy behavioral changes.
Next Steps-Goals to Help Philadelphia’s Children
Data & Information to develop a robust understanding of housing quality in
Philadelphia, to understand the prevalence of health and
safety housing issues and the impact on children’s health and
to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.
Legal Services and Other Support to ensure families have the legal services along with have the
information, resources, support, access to health care they
need to reduce the health and safety hazards in their homes.
Enhanced Enforcement of the Health Code, Property Maintenance Code, Lead
Disclosure and Notification Law and other laws as needed to
help improve the housing conditions of children.

BACKGROUND
• African American children are more likely to have emergency room visits and hospitalizations yet less likely to visit their pcp for sick visits.
• Only 50% of the children managed by CHOP inner-city practices returned to the pcp after an emergency room visit.
• High utilization is partially explained by poor asthma control impacted by:– poor adherence, cultural beliefs, psychological stressors, poor clinician-patient
collaboration and long intervals between visits.
• AND Lack of adherence to medication :– suboptimal pcp prescription habits and caregiver concerns about controller
medication side effects.
Background• Tailored asthma interventions that consider the families’ psychosocial needs
and health beliefs are more likely to reduce utilization than health insurance and access .
• Previous studies find that community health workers (CHW) are effective in delivering tailored interventions and coordinating resources in the home and community in a culturally appropriate manner.
• Recent studies have proven that community health workers integration into the patient-centered medical home is feasible and successful.
• We sought to reduce utilization by expanding the role of the CHW in the medical home while maintaining their visibility and interaction with caregivers in the home and community.

Practice 2015
Hypothesis
• Asthma Navigators’ interaction with caregivers of children with asthma will lead to increased follow-up pcp visits resulting in improved asthma outcomes
– Primary Outcome- increased follow-up asthma visits to the primary care provider before readmission and reduced asthma symptoms
– Secondary Outcomes- reduced hospital and emergency room admissions, caregiver satisfaction with asthma navigator, caregiver satisfaction with health care team, improved pulmonary function
Developing the Asthma Navigator Model
Patient Navigation
Yes We CanAsthma
Care Navigator
• Patient Navigator model was first implemented by Dr. Harold Freeman in order to help women with breast cancer navigate the medical system. • Adaptation of Model to asthma in children
• Yes We Can model integrates the CHW within the practice.
• Combining the Patient Navigator and the YWC model allows us to complete the circle of care
Objectives• Identify high risk children with asthma
and enroll in Asthma Navigator care coordination program
• Implement Asthma Navigator model in four (now three) practices– Integrate AN within the clinical team
and office care– Improve
• communication between caregivers and clinical team
• caregiver and patient’s self-management skills
• asthma control
– Connect caregivers with resources– Reduce asthma utilization
61
Asthma Navigator Study Design
• Prospective Case Matched control study
• Enroll 240 high risk asthmatics from three inner-city practices
• Assign to Asthma Care Navigator who is embedded in each practice

Summary
• Interaction with Asthma Navigators led to increased number
of follow up visits to the pcp
• Asthma Navigators (CHWs) were effective in reducing
health care utilization resulting in reduce costs for high risk
children diagnosed with asthma
• Asthma Navigators promoted national asthma guideline
care in primary care practices
Conclusions
• The Asthma Navigator program successfully integrated CHWs into the clinical setting while providing much-needed support to the caregivers of high risk children with asthma.
• The asthma navigators promoted national asthma-guideline based care in the home and in the office which resulted in increased primary care office acute visits, reduced asthma symptoms and reduced healthcare utilization.
• The value added by this program has been acknowledged by the practices and the insurers evidenced by their willingness to support and sustain these asthma navigators.
Implications
• Medical homes that incorporate CHW as asthma navigators into their health care team may promote parent/caregiver satisfaction with their health care providers.
• Integration of the CHW into the health care team may be helpful for other chronic diseases
• Pediatricians should consider advocating for reimbursement of care coordination services by nontraditional health workers for all high risk asthmatic children.
