Why Collect Non-Clinical Factors of Health data using PRAPARE®?

PRAPARE® helps community health centers and other providers collect data needed to better understand and act on their patients’ non-clinical factors of health. With data on non-clinical factors of health, health centers and other providers can

  Define and document the complexity of their patients

  Transform care with integrated services and community partnerships to meet the
needs of their patients

  Demonstrate the value they bring to patients, communities, and payers

  Support change in their communities

While PRAPARE® ​ was created by and for community health centers, it has been increasingly used by health networks, health and hospital systems, Medicaid managed care organizations, behavioral health providers, health departments, and community-based organizations. Adoption of PRAPARE® throughout the healthcare ecosystem attests to the utility and applicability in meeting the needs of patients, families, and communities.
