How does C-Change™ work?

Columbus’ healthcare team bridges boundaries and bring together the skills of professionals to assess, plan and manage care jointly. Based in the community, staff work proactively to support individuals’ goals and ensure that quality, comprehensive, continuous care services are delivered.

Columbus trains staff to utilize screening and assessments tools as required by stakeholders and evidenced-based tools for identification of risk factors. Assessments, screenings, and prescriptive algorithms can be integrated and applied to member/participant interactions to identify needs and risk triggers and aid in the stratification of acuities.
