Collaborative Screening is a framework for making health screenings more meaningful. It takes your screening process beyond routine data exchange to create the supportive, respectful conversations that are essential to person-centered care. The Collaborative Screening framework integrates concepts and skills from well-established methods for providing person-centered health care, including motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and cultural humility. Using this framework supports you to reliably apply these methods to screening and follow-up conversations.

This introductory course provides a high-level overview of collaborative screening, and equips learners to:

  • Describe the purpose and process of collaborative screening.
  • Describe the foundational principles for conducting a person-centred screening and follow-up conversation.
  • Demonstrate reflective statements to demonstrate empathy as part of a screening conversation

The course includes an interactive online learning module, a final assignment, and an a one-on-one practice and feedback session with a CCMI practice facilitator. Following the course, learners receive a series of emails to review concepts and skills and encourage them to apply what they’ve learned.
