Highlights
As there is no simple tool for assessing Health and Social Service (HASS) needs we developed the Simple Segmentation Tool (SST) based on Lynn et al’s “Bridges of Health” framework which allows providers to assign patients into one of 6 health categories, termed Global Impression (GI) segments: GI-1 healthy, GI-2 chronic condition, asymptomatic, GI-3 chronic condition, symptomatic, GI-4 long course of decline, GI-5 limited reserve, and GI-6 short decline before dying

Summary
Defining and Evaluating Norms for Health and Social Service (HASS) Needs based on a Simple Segmentation Tool (SST) ICIC20 Virtual Conference – September 2020 As there is no simple tool for assessing HASS needs we developed the SST based on Lynn et al’s “Bridges of Health” framework which allows providers to assign patients into one of 6 health categories, termed Global Impression (GI) segments: GI-1 healthy, GI-2 chronic condition, asymptomatic, GI-3 chronic condition, symptomatic, GI-4 long course of decline, GI-5 limited reserve, and GI-6 short decline before dying. The SST is a validated and practical tool with good inter-rater reliability and predictive validity for emergency department (ED) visits, hospitalization, and mortality. Our primary objective was to establish HASS norms based on SST inputs and to evaluate concordance between norms and utilization within 3-months post hospital discharge.
