Instructions:

STATE OF WISCONSIN s. 252.04, Wis. Stats. (608) 267-3733 FAX: (608) 266-0049 Page 1 of 5

The refugee health assessment must be done with a trained medical interpreter or a medical provider fluent in the refugee's language. The purpose of this form is to assess the initial health status of refugees entering Wisconsin. Completion of this form is voluntary.

Perform the following lab tests as appropriate as part of the initial refugee health assessment:
Varicella screening if no verification of natural immunity Hepatitis B screening (anti-HBs, HBsAg, anti-HBc and IgM anti-HBc) Intestinal parasite screening, provide containers and instruct client with interpreter on collecting and returning specimens to the appropriate provider (e.g. clinic, local health department) Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and HIV testing CBC with differential Hemoglobin/hematocrit Urinalysis/pregnancy test Malaria screening if history or symptoms are suspicious of malaria Lead (children ages 6 months to 16 years of age within 90 days of arrival in the US.; children ages 6 months to 6 years (and older children if warranted) 3 to 6 months after placement into a permanent residence, regardless of initial test results). Tuberculosis (TB) testing UA/UC (Urinalysis/Urine culture) Other labs as appropriate for follow-up

Prior to initiating the health screening, verify the patient's admission status. Admission status refers to the classification that allows the patient to legally remain in the United States. To identify a patient's status: · Request they present their Arrival/Departure Record (form I - 94) or a letter from the Office of Refugee Resettlement or from an immigration judge that documents the patient's status. · Review the item and identify whether the patient's status is that of a Refugee, Asylee, Cuban/Haitian Entrant, Victim of Trafficking, or an Amerasian. Complete all information; Name, Date of Birth, Gender, Voluntary Agency (VOLAG)*, Alien Number, Country of Origin, Race, U.S. Arrival Date, Date of first clinic visit, Class B Status**, and reimbursement information in space provided at the top of page 3. *VOLAG refers to refugee resettlement voluntary agency. **Class B status refers to a condition (mental or physical) that was identified on the overseas medical examination prior to immigration to the United States. This condition represents a departure from normal health or well-being that is significant enough to possibly interfere with the person's ability to care for himself or herself, or to attend school or work, or that may require extensive medical treatment or institutionalization in the future. Assess immunizations: Review overseas medical exam (DS 2053) if available, and document immunization dates. According to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP): · Refugees <19 - update series, or begin primary series if no immunization dates are documented. · Refugees 19 - assess for vaccines that are medically appropriate. For measles, mumps, and rubella indicate if there is laboratory evidence of immunity; if so, immunizations are not needed against those particular diseases. MMR vaccine can satisfy the immunization requirements for Measles, Mumps and Rubella. For varicella, if there is laboratory evidence of immunity or reliable history of the disease (e.g. dermatological manifestations), immunization is not needed. Document immunization information on the Refugee Health Assessment. Always update the personal immunization record card and instruct the patient and/or family, using an interpreter when needed. Call the Wisconsin Immunization Program at (608) 267-9959 for free immunization consultation if needed. NOTE: 07/2008 United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) increased the vaccinations required for refugees seeking adjustment of status: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dq/pdf/civil_surgeon_ti/memo_.pdf Tuberculosis Screening: Apply Mantoux skin test to all patients regardless of BCG history, unless a rare medical contraindication is present. (Pregnancy is not a medical contraindication for Mantoux testing.) Apply Mantoux skin test to all patients 6 months or under if the child has HIV infection or if the child was exposed to an individual with active TB disease. (Make an immediate public health referral on a child with these circumstances.) The TB blood assay test (BAT) such as Quantiferon Gold TM or T-Spot TM may be used in place of the Mantoux for all persons over the age of 17. No published data document the performance of QFT-G in children aged <17 years [CDC/MMWR 12/16/05/54 (RR15); 49-55]. Schedule a child under 6 months of age, who is not HIV+ or a close contact, for a repeat Mantoux skin test after their 6-month birthday.

Tuberculosis Screening Continued: Read Mantoux test in 48-72 hours and record results in millimeters of induration and/or record results of Blood Assay Test (BAT) on page three of this form. For all positive tests, record skin test /BAT and chest x-ray information on the Wisconsin TB Record form number DPH 4756 and provide to patient/family to facilitate initiation of treatment for latent TB infection or disease. Indicate if the refugee has any medical risk factors, which increase the risk for breaking down with active TB disease such as immunosuppression, low body weight, diabetes, etc. Chest x-ray MUST be done if: a. b. c. d. Mantoux is positive (for the person's risk factors) or blood assay test is positive Patient has been identified on their overseas medical exam (DS 2053) as having a class A or B TB condition Patient is symptomatic (cough, fever, hemoptysis, night sweats, weight loss, etc.) Patient is a recent contact, overseas or stateside, to active TB disease (Make an immediate public health referral.)

Indicate on the assessment form if medications for TB disease or TB infection were prescribed. All suspect or confirmed cases of TB should be reported immediately by telephone to the local health department. Oral Health: Complete in accordance with DPH oral health training. Check screening "not done" if you have not been trained. Ensure that oral health screening is initiated if you are unable to do it. Hepatitis B Administer Hepatitis B screening panel including Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs), anti-HBc and IgM anti-HBc. Screen all household contacts of carriers and immunize susceptibles. Refer those who are HBsAg positive for additional medical evaluation. Consider HIV and STD screening for all persons who have reached sexual maturity or have a risk factor for HIV or an STD (family exposure, sexual abuse, etc.) HIV testing requires a separate written consent, according to Wis Statute 252.15(2). Screen for syphilis by administering VDRL or RPR. Confirm positive VDRL or RPR by FTA-ABS/TPPA or other confirmatory test. Repeat VDRL/FTA in 2 weeks if lesions typical of primary syphilis are noted and person is seronegative on initial screening. Screen for Chlamydia and gonorrhea using appropriate tests (even if asymptomatic). Screen for other STDs if symptomatic, if patient reports possible exposure, or you suspect exposure related to abuse. Intestinal Parasites: Evaluate for eosinophilia by obtaining a CBC with differential. Conduct stool examinations for ova and parasites. Three stool specimens should be obtained at least 24 hours apart. · If parasites are identified, one stool specimen should be submitted 2-3 weeks after completion of therapy to determine response to treatment. · Eosinophilia requires further evaluation for pathogenic parasites, even with 3 negative screening stool examinations. NOTE: The Wisconsin Division of Public Health does not recommend the use of rapid tests for identification of these parasites. Blood work: Document results. Pregnancy: Test if indicated and provide appropriate care or referrals. Malaria: If symptomatic, obtain three thick and three thin smears to screen for malarial parasites. Lead: Include lead testing when ordering lab work for children between ages 6 months to 16 years of age within 90 days of arrival in the US and for children ages 6 months to 6 years (and older children if warranted) 3-6 months after placement into a permanent residence, regardless of initial test results). http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/lead/Refugee%20recs.htm or http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/lead/Publications/RefugeeToolKit/pdfs/CDCRecommendations.pdf Assess for other health problems: Hematological disorders (eosinophilia, anemia, microcytosis), dental caries, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid disease, otorhinologic and ophthalmologic problems, history of trauma, dermatological abnormalities. Height, weight, vision and hearing evaluation and blood pressure. Assess mental health needs (e.g., headaches, nightmares, and depression). Screen for suicide potential if indicated and provide appropriate referrals. Communicable Disease Reporting: Wisconsin statute Chapter 252.05 and administrative Rule Chapter HFS 145 require reporting of suspect and confirmed communicable diseases. - Refer to Acute and Communicable Disease Case Report ­ F-44151. Indicate on all referrals made for patient and if an interpreter is needed. Fill in all lab results in appropriate places throughout the form. Write name, address, phone/fax number and contact person of the agencies that provide the health screening on page 3. Include the Physician/PA/NP name and date completed.
