Dakota Communities Access Program (DCAP) Initiative
DCAP was a three-year, $2.6 million federally-funded DMF initiative to improve access to and coordination of healthcare services for uninsured and underinsured persons in central and eastern North Dakota. From 2003-2007, DCAP focused on four primary goals: 1) public health insurance enrollment, 2) prescription assistance, 3) dental care access and 4) diabetes quality improvement.
To achieve these goals, DCAP placed community resource coordinators (CRCs) in hospitals, clinics, Federally Qualified Healthcare Centers, and public health departments. CRC’s work one-on-one with people to help them access critical health and financial programs.
