DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal to incorporate a treatment component into the current World Trade Center (WTC) Screening and Monitoring program at Bellevue Hospital / New York University (NYU) School of Medicine. The WTC monitoring program, established in 2002, consists of a group of occupational medicine clinics that provide comprehensive medical screening, referrals and benefits counseling to workers affected by the events on and after 9-11. The NYU / Bellevue program was originally proposed in 2002 as a collaboration between New York University / Bellevue Hospital and diverse organizations including the Fraternal Order of Police, the Metal Trades Department, and community organizations such as the Latin American Workers Project and the Beyond Ground Zero network. We will continue to work with these organizations while extending our outreach efforts to include workers and volunteers from other unions and community organizations throughout New York City. The Bellevue / NYU program has developed a strong collaboration among the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, the Bellevue/NYU Occupational and Environmental Medicine Clinic, and the NYU/Bellevue Department of Psychiatry. The initial evaluations have revealed prevalence of respiratory and mental health conditions. We will continue this screening and monitoring program and propose to add a treatment component to the program. We anticipate that offering an integrated comprehensive screening, monitoring, and treatment program will increase the number of referrals to our program and improve our retention rate. Physicians in our program are sensitive to the needs of the WTC rescue workers. This comprehensive program will also heighten the sensitivity of large numbers of other Bellevue and outside physicians to the ongoing needs and emerging disease trends of this patient population. The proposed program, utilizing a mix of pulmonary and occupational medicine specialists, general internists, and nurses, supported by a psychologist, social worker, and medical assistants, will offer much improved continuity and coordination of clinical care and long term follow-up of this group of patients.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一项将治疗部分纳入贝尔维尤医院/纽约大学 (NYU) 医学院目前的世界贸易中心 (WTC) 筛查和监测计划的提案。 WTC 监测计划成立于 2002 年，由一组职业医学诊所组成，为受 9-11 事件及之后影响的工人提供全面的医疗筛查、转诊和福利咨询。纽约大学/贝尔维尤项目最初于 2002 年提出，作为纽约大学/贝尔维尤医院与不同组织之间的合作，包括警察兄弟会、金属贸易部以及拉丁美洲工人项目和超越归零网络等社区组织。我们将继续与这些组织合作，同时扩大我们的外展工作，以包括来自纽约市其他工会和社区组织的工人和志愿者。贝尔维尤/纽约大学项目在肺科和重症监护医学科、贝尔维尤/纽约大学职业和环境医学诊所以及纽约大学/贝尔维尤精神病学系之间建立了强有力的合作。初步评估显示呼吸系统和心理健康状况普遍存在。我们将继续这项筛查和监测计划，并建议在该计划中添加治疗部分。我们预计，提供综合全面的筛查、监测和治疗计划将增加我们计划的转诊数量并提高我们的保留率。我们项目中的医生对世贸中心救援人员的需求非常敏感。这一综合计划还将提高大量其他贝尔维尤医生和外部医生对该患者群体的持续需求和新出现的疾病趋势的敏感性。拟议的计划由肺科和职业医学专家、普通内科医生和护士组成，在心理学家、社会工作者和医疗助理的支持下，将大大改善临床护理的连续性和协调性以及对这组患者的长期随访。
