DATA COLLECTION FORM www.the NationalCounc il.org
Use one form for all baseline information. Next Assessment Date is 3 months after the baseline date (30 days +/- the due date) Use one form for all reassessment information Entering interim indicator readings is at the discretion of the grantee
This patient is at risk for hypertension. Per the terms of the grant, we must check their blood pressure every three months, perform a comprehensive assessment and provide an intervention(s). Possible interventions include a brief consultation, enrollment in an exercise group, monitoring their blood pressure every 2 weeks, and sending them to a hypertension specialist.
Any counseling, motivational interviewing, or wellness programs provided by the granting agency that address at risk indicators count as internal wellness and prevention counseling The grant-funded health professional will likely perform most internal wellness and prevention counseling services
if the grant-funded health professional believes external specialty care is the appropriate intervention for this particular client s needs, select yes for direct patient to external specialty care. An example of this is sending the patient to a hypertension specialist.
Enter follow-up information on the original data collection form If the patient attended the external specialty care, select provided. If they did not attend, select no show. refused is used when the health professional offers to make specialty care arrangements, but the patient refuses.
For a Model 1 site, an at risk health indicator (such as high blood pressure) means you must provide a comprehensive assessment. When that has been performed, it is indicated on the data collection form. If health monitoring will be provided for the at risk indicator, it should be noted on the data collection form.
Reassessment At reassessment, you will only screen for the indicators that were at-risk at baseline Reassessments are due 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after the baseline reading There is a 30 day window before and after the reassessment is due
