PULSE DeveloPing a pragmatic gUide to impLementing social riSk assistancE
This project aims to support primary care and community health clinics design assistance strategies that will address identified social needs that are yielding barriers for their patients to receive screening and preventive care (e.g., those lacking transportation may be unable to go to recommended colonoscopy appointments).
Project Goals
This supplement is a collaborative effort across four ISC3 Centers: BRIDGE-C2, Harvard ISCCCE, University of Washington OPTICC, and Washington University-ISC3.
- Goal 1: Develop a pragmatic, applied guidebook (the Guide) for clinics seeking to implement, expand, or optimize efforts to address patient-reported social risks using Assistance strategies.
- Goal 2: Use rapid cycle testing to identify best practices for implementing the Guide.
- Goal 3: Iterate and disseminate the refined Guide.
