The new PCMH Standards have added measures for Comprehensive Health Assessment. They include Social functioning and Social Determinants of Health.
How are others capturing this data? What workflows or best practices have you implemented? Who gathers this information: MA, RN, LCSW?
Thank you!
We are a group of FQHC's and downloaded the Centricity version of the PRAPARE VFE form from NACHC website. We have found that it will require customization to function well. We are working on customization now. One major problem, and I have never understood why there aren't more efforts to address this, is the lack of bidirectional flow between registration data items and clinical data items (data symbols vs. obs terms). So we will work around that problem as best we can since some of the social determinants of care are marked on registration and others on clinical side.
