How it works

1

Enter identified need categories

Housing, food, transportation, and utility needs each add to the routing-priority score.

2

Add severity and household context

Self-rated urgency, household size, and existing support status show how much weight this case should carry.

3

Get a routing-priority score

A weighted 0-100 score flags whether to route immediately, this week, or through the standard workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tool provide medical or clinical advice?

No. This tool only screens and prioritises non-medical, social support needs for administrative routing. It does not diagnose or recommend clinical treatment.

Who typically uses this?

Front-desk staff, care coordinators, or social workers doing standardized social-needs screening during intake or a visit.

What does a high routing-priority score mean?

It means multiple need categories, high self-rated urgency, a larger household, or no existing support are combining to make this a time-sensitive referral.

Should this replace a full social-needs screening instrument?

For quick triage and routing, this is enough. Organizations running formal SDOH screening (e.g. PRAPARE-style tools) should still use their validated instrument for documentation.
