Two-Tiered Screening for Patient Social Needs in a Safety-Net Setting: Using Two Pre-Screening Questions to assess patients’ social needs at a Chicago-area FQHC (2022). Resource Type: Template. Description: Erie Family Health Centers, a Chicago-area Federally Qualified Health Center, initiated a two-part social needs screening process with patients in May 2020. A medical assistant asked a single prescreening question about interest in being connected to resources and interested patients received a follow-up call from staff to screen for needs and connect with resources. A second prescreening question was added asking patients their preferred method for receiving resources. The results of this process suggest that a two-tiered screening for social needs is feasible in the safety net setting. More Details...
