The purpose of the Tribal Planning & Implementation (TPI) program is to support the planning and implementation for Tribes and Tribal Organizations (T/TO) positioned to begin operating a Community Health Aide Program (CHAP) or support a growing CHAP in the contiguous 48 states. The program is designed to support the regional flexibility required to implement a CHAP unique to the needs of individual Tribal communities across the country through the identification of feasibility factors. The focus of the program is to:

1. Develop clinical supervisor support for primary care, behavioral health, and dental health clinicians providing both direct and indirect supervision of prospective health aides;

2. Identify area and community-specific health care needs of patients that can be addressed by the health aides;

3. Identify and develop a technology infrastructure plan for the mobility and success of health aides in anticipation of providing services;

4. Develop a training plan to include partners across the T/TO's geographic region to enhance the training opportunities available to prospective health aides to include continuing education and clinical practice;

5. Identify best practices for integrating a CHAP workforce into an existing Tribal health system;

6. Address social determinants of health that impact the recruitment and retention of prospective health aides; and

7. Identify the total cost of full implementation of a CHAP within an existing Tribal health system.
