• Description:
  An important component of the New York State Refugee Health Program's (NYSRHP) mission is to ensure refugees with identified medial conditions are referred to primary and specialty care. A programmatic evaluation was conducted to assess the completion rate for primary care referral appointments made during the initial domestic health assessment among refugees in NYS (exclusive of New York City). Upon arrival in NYS, refugees may receive a domestic health assessment by one of NYSRHP contracted providers. As part of the assessment, referrals for primary and specialty care may be assigned. From July 2010 to June 2011, 69 % of NYS-bound refugees that received a primary care referral by a NYSRHP contracted provider completed their appointment.
