CHAS Health Shares Promising Practice: Using PRAPARE Community Health Worker (CHW)Team to Address Patients’ Social Needs

Understanding the social needs of patients and the community has always been embedded into the mission of CHAS Health. This work has evolved over the years, in line with state and national best practices, leading to the development of a formal social needs screening program. They understood that to successfully launch an SDOH screener they needed cross-department collaboration with staff from clinic operations, leadership, CHW teams, IT and applications departments, and the data team. This led to the creation of a workgroup focused on the implementation of the screener. This workgroup identified team members, developed objectives with trackable goals and timelines, and executed a rollout and communication plan.  


The Association's promising practice reports aim to support community health centers in leading and developing disruption and innovation by identifying successful innovations and communicating promising practices to the statewide network. Does your CHC have a promising practice to share? Let us know!
