1 Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium Community Health Aide Program 4000 Ambassador Drive, 4th Floor Anchorage, Alaska Telephone: /3642 Facsimile: August 28, 2006 (REVISED 06/29/2011) Dear CHAM User: Welcome to your 2006 Alaska Community Health Aide/Practitioner Manual (CHAM)! We are excited to bring you this edition-an integrated 4-volume set with CD-ROM. In the past several months we have provided orientation to the CHAM for many Community Health Aides, Community Health Practitioners, training center staff, field staff, pharmacists, referral physicians, and others. Feedback has been extremely positive. However, the CHAM Revision Team has identified a few areas that require revision or correction at this time. Enclosed you will find a packet that contains 14 corrections or additions to place in your CHAM. You must cut the new information out and tape it in your CHAM in the right place. For each change, we have provided a copy of the CHAM page to help you put the revision in exactly the right place. An option is for you to download this packet from and print the revisions to sticker paper; cut and paste as instructed. As you are making changes, if you find any missing and duplicate pages, please contact us so we can send you a replacement book. Please make these changes immediately. If you have any questions, please contact the CHAP Statewide Services Office at for assistance. Thank you for taking the time to make these revisions and get to know your CHAM. If you have any other questions or concerns that have not been identified, you may contact this office (see staff list above) or go to and find the 2006 CHAM User Comment Sheet to provide feedback. In the next few months we will be evaluating the changes in the immunization schedule and how those changes will be made in the CHAM. We also anticipate changes in national emergency standards and procedures that the CHAM Revision Team will evaluate and make recommendations. We value your input and hope you will enjoy using this new tool in the provision of health care. Sincerely, Victorie Heart, MS, RN Director, CHAP/Rural Health Enclosure: Revisions to 2006 CHAM-August 2006 Packet
