WTC Responder Health Consortium Clinical Center

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案申请资金，用于在西奈山医学院建立一个新的世界贸易中心卓越临床中心，该中心将整合现有的西奈山世界贸易中心医学监测项目临床中心和世界贸易中心健康影响治疗项目。在这个新的医疗监测和治疗计划（MMTP）中，将继续根据目前用于WTC医疗监测计划的协议向WTC响应者提供监测检查。患者每隔18个月进行一次检查，现在他们将在监测检查时接受wtc相关疾病的治疗。该方案的一个组成部分是提供社会工作服务，以帮助患者获得健康福利、工人赔偿、与9/11有关的福利和其他所需的服务。本项目的具体目标是：1。运营一个职业医学卓越临床中心，该中心将成为诊所网络的关键组成部分，并将为世界贸易中心（世贸中心）应急人员提供全面的健康监测和治疗服务。2. 制定WTC相关健康状况的住院和门诊治疗方案，以便在西奈山卓越中心和适当的转诊地点实施。3. 协助世贸中心救援人员及其家属获得健康福利、工人赔偿和其他适当服务。4. 向世贸中心数据协调中心提供监测和治疗方案产生的健康结果，以便进行汇总、分析、传播和质量控制。5. 根据数据协调中心的调查结果、从持续监测和治疗中获得的临床经验以及从其他WTC应对者临床和研究项目中获得的最佳证据，在必要时不断评估和修订监测和治疗方案。这个新的卓越中心的建立将使世贸中心响应者能够在一个单一的、统一的项目中获得全面的、免费的、保密的世贸中心相关疾病护理。我们预计，在今后32个月内，MMTP将为大约15 000名应急人员提供定期体检，并为其中约6200名男女提供治疗。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests funding to create a new WTC Clinical Center of Excellence at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine that will unite the existing Mount Sinai World Trade Center Medical Monitoring Program Clinical Center and the World Trade Center Health Effects Treatment Program. In this new Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program (MMTP) monitoring examinations will continue to be provided to WTC responders according to the protocol now used for the WTC Medical Monitoring Program. Patients are seen at 18-month intervals, and they will now receive treatment for WTC-related conditions at the time of their monitoring examination. An integral part of the program is the provision of social work services to assist patients in obtaining health benefits, workers compensation, 9/11 related benefits and other needed services. Specific aims of this project are: 1. to operate a Clinical Center of Excellence in occupational medicine that will be a key component of a network of clinics and that will provide comprehensive health monitoring and treatment services for World Trade Center (WTC) responders. 2. To develop protocols for in-patient and outpatient treatment of WTC related health conditions for implementation within the Mount Sinai Center of Excellence and at appropriate referral sites. 3. To assist WTC responders and their families in obtaining health benefits, workers compensation and other appropriate services. 4. To provide the health findings that arise from the monitoring and treatment program to the WTC Data Coordination Center for aggregation, analysis, dissemination and quality control. 5. To continually evaluate and revise, as necessary, the monitoring and treatment protocols, using best available evidence from the findings from the Data Coordination Center, from the clinical experiences gained from the ongoing monitoring and treatment, and from other WTC responder clinical and research programs. Establishment of this new Center of Excellence will enable WTC responders to receive comprehensive free, confidential care for WTC-related conditions within a single, unified program. We anticipate that over the next 32 months MMTP will provide periodic medical examinations for approximately 15,000 responders and provide treatment to an estimated 6200 of these men and women.
