No specific screeners (PRAPARE, etc.) are mentioned here. Shouldn’t they be? Isn’t it important for readers to see described the common, popular SDOH screeners, many of which are today incorporated in EHRs, and then understand how this specification relates to those screeners? A primary purpose of this specification is to ease automated capture of SDOH data, much of which comes from screener questions from PAPARE, Accountable Health Communities, etc. Maybe it is mentioned elsewhere in the document – if not it needs to be added, including a crosswalk between those questions, answers and how the concepts and categories are modeled in the specification.
Here are a few relevant references:
