identifying migrant patients

[Guest guest]

I have been trying to find out how health centers are identifying their migrant

patients. Is anyone out there willing to share their protocol? What questions

do you ask? Any specific forms used? Who conducts the questions? HOw do you

update this information? How often? Any information will be useful. I would

like to share this information with the CHC participating in the Health

Disparities Collaboratives so that we can more accurately track trends in

migrant statistics. Thank you

Our health center asks three basic questions: Do you live in Michigan

all year long or temporary? If all year, how many years have you lived

here?, Do you work in agriculture or a factory? We have them fill out

a paper including all family members and give each family member a

laminated card with our name, doctors, phone # and labeled migrant 2004.

This has to be repeated each year to qualify for our program. Hope

this helps you.
