SDOH Screening Software That Connects Assessment to Action
Validated screening tools, structured results capture, referral tracking, and follow-up documentation — built into your care management workflow.
The Operational Problem with SDOH Screening
Without a structured SDOH workflow, most practices experience the same pattern: a paper form handed to the patient, results filed loosely in the chart, positive screens that don't automatically generate referral tasks, and no panel-level view of what was screened, found, or followed up on. This isn't a failure of intent — it's a failure of infrastructure. Accelerate provides the infrastructure.
How Accelerate Supports SDOH Screening
Validated Screening Tools
Accelerate includes AHC-HRSN (CMS-preferred), PRAPARE (widely used in FQHCs), Hunger Vital Sign, and configurable single-item questions across housing, transportation, utilities, safety, and social support domains.
Structured Results Capture
Results captured in structured, coded format — not free text. Domain-level results are scored and linked to the patient record, enabling population-level reporting: which domains are most prevalent in your panel, how many patients screened positive for food insecurity, what percentage of positive screens resulted in referrals.
Referral Workflow Integration
Positive screens automatically generate referral tasks. The care team reviews results, selects appropriate community resources from a configurable directory, initiates referrals, and tracks status through to resolution.
Follow-Up Documentation
Accelerate generates follow-up tasks for unresolved referrals and documents the outcome — whether the patient accessed the service, what barriers prevented access, and what alternative resources were attempted.
SDOH Data in the Care Plan
Screening results and referral outcomes flow into the patient's care plan. The social context of the patient's health is visible alongside the clinical record — not buried in a separate workflow.
SDOH Screening in AWV, CCM, and CHI Workflows
Accelerate integrates SDOH screening into the workflows where it makes clinical sense: as part of the AWV HRA, CCM care plan development, CHI as the primary entry point, BHI alongside behavioral health screening, or as a standalone encounter.
Screening patients for social needs but not tracking what happens after?
Accelerate closes the loop — from positive screen to referral to documented outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
What SDOH screening tools are available in Accelerate?
Accelerate includes AHC-HRSN, PRAPARE, Hunger Vital Sign, and configurable single-item screening questions for housing, transportation, utilities, safety, and social support.
How does Accelerate handle positive SDOH screens?
Positive screens automatically generate referral tasks. The care team reviews results, selects resources from a configurable community resource directory, initiates referrals, and documents follow-up outcomes — all within the platform.
Can SDOH screening be integrated into AWV and CCM workflows?
Yes. Accelerate integrates SDOH screening into AWV, CCM, BHI, CHI, and standalone encounter workflows. Results and referral outcomes flow into the patient's care plan.
Does Accelerate support population-level SDOH reporting?
Yes. Because results are captured in structured, coded format, Accelerate can generate population-level reports showing domain prevalence, screening rates, referral rates, and referral outcome rates.
Is SDOH screening required for Medicare care management billing?
Requirements vary by program. CHI and certain value-based care arrangements have explicit SDOH screening expectations. Practices should consult current CMS guidance for the programs they operate.
