Overview

Through the data validation process, valuable information is gained that can then be used to improve performance around patient care or quality of care metrics.  Improving quality performance may take the form of improving data collection processes, better identifying patients who need additional interventions, or decreasing missed opportunities to provide patients appropriate interventions, among other possibilities. This section includes guidance on leveraging Health IT to improve quality performance including change packages for recommended approaches related to various quality of care measures.

Lessons Learned: Implementing and Expanding Social Needs Screening Programs in Health Centers - Session 5: Learning Lab

HITEQ Learning Collaborative Series

This learning collaborative by the HITEQ Center allowed participants to learn about health center promising practices and key considerations to support the successful collection, monitoring, and addressing of social needs data. During the series participants explored the levels of maturity in the social needs screening implementation process. Participants gained information on concrete strategies and IT solutions to help improve internal systems, such as EHR utilization and care team workflows, and increase their capacity to advance individual and population-level health.  Health center exemplars were also showcased.

The levels of maturity include: 

  • Level 1: Coming to Consensus

  • Level 2: Implementing a Social Needs Screening Tool

  • Level 3: Responding to Positive Screens

  • Level 4: Monitoring and Using Data

Session 5: Learning Lab: Health Center Sharing on Actions and Progress in Implementing and Advancing Their Social Needs Screening Program

During this session, participants shared their takeaways from the learning collaborative, and plans and action steps to advance their social needs screening program.
