Policy Paper
La pandemia de COVID-19 ha enfatizado la importancia de los trabajadores de salud comunitarios dentro de la atención comunitaria. También conocidos como “asesores de salud no profesionales” u “orientadores de salud”, y en español como “promotoras o promotores de salud”, los trabajadores de salud comunitarios son enlaces esenciales entre los miembros de la comunidad y los servicios de atención médica. Es importante destacar que asumen roles fundamentales tanto en entornos clínicos como comunitarios.
Policy Paper
Community Health Workers (CHWs) that collaborated with RADx-UP projects served in multiple roles on a continuum ranging from advisory to outreach to shared project leadership. In the majority of studies we reviewed, where the CHW role was defined, CHW roles included disseminating culturally and linguistically appropriate information about the COVID-19 pandemic, providing direct services such as administering COVID-19 tests, and coordinating care and health system navigation.
Policy Paper
Growing interest in advancing health equity among health systems, payers, government agencies, and community-based organizations, and initiatives such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Framework for Health Equity has created a window of opportunity to translate evidence gathered during the COVID-19 pandemic into broader, equity-focused health care transformation efforts. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of developing and sustaining a robust health workforce at the community level.
