Chronic-Risk Pre-Screeners

TriageIQ™ is a non-diagnostic, patient-administered, intake pre-screener that identifies structured risk signals across multiple areas of clinical concern before the visit begins. It does not diagnose or replace provider judgment. It gives the care team an earlier, organized view of where follow-up, assessment, testing, documentation, or referral may be clinically appropriate.

With four dedicated pathways — Geriatric, Adult, Adolescent, and Pediatric — TriageIQ™ is built around the populations primary care sees every day. Across ACO/VBC, FQHC, and FFS models, it supports age-appropriate risk recognition and helps organize the front end of care before conditions are missed, delayed, or left undocumented.

From Intake to Insight. TriageIQ™ Geriatric is designed to be completed on-site or remotely by patients or caregivers in about 3 minutes.

The Value of TriageIQ™

Think of it as a compass for care. From the patient's first moment at intake, TriageIQ™ points toward the signals that warrant a clinician's attention — and toward the assessment, test, care-management program, or referral those signals indicate.

The Intake Value

Earlier signal. Risk is surfaced at intake.
Broad by design. One short pre-screener reaches across hidden risk areas.
Direction, not guesswork. Positive signals guide appropriate next steps.
Efficient workflow. Patient-administered and clinic-friendly.
More complete care. Overlooked risks are brought forward for provider review.

The Documentation Value

Good care has a reason behind every step. TriageIQ™ makes sure that reason is on the record. Because the patient-reported signal is captured at the moment of intake, the rationale behind each step that follows — every assessment, test, care-management enrollment, or referral — is documented from the start. Your organization can always show not just what was done for a patient, but why it was clinically warranted: a standardized record, captured at the moment of care, in the patient's own words.

That clarity compounds. It supports continuity of care as patients move between providers. It strengthens quality reporting. And it gives every clinical decision a clear, documented foundation — captured in the moment, not reconstructed after the fact.

The Provider Value

For an individual provider, TriageIQ™ means catching what matters earlier and acting with direction. For a primary care group, an MSO, an ACO, or a value-based organization, it means a consistent, documented front door to chronic-risk identification across an entire patient population — and, through the TriageIQ™ family's age-specific pathways, across every stage of life. The same signal, the same standard, every patient, every time. From intake to insight.

Primary Care is Multi-System

Patients don't arrive with one condition at a time. They arrive with overlapping, multi-system risk that crosses several areas of health in a single visit. Yet most established screeners were built to evaluate one condition, symptom group, or specialty area at a time. Each is clinically valuable in its place, but each adds its own administration, scoring, documentation, and draw on staff time. Run enough of them to cover one primary care patient and intake grinds to a halt — so most never get run at all.

Primary care needs a different starting point.

TriageIQ™ works as a chronic-risk pre-screener at the front door — surfacing potential risk signals across several clinical areas at once, before the provider decides whether a focused screener or assessment is warranted. When TriageIQ™ flags a signal, the provider can use that result to support the clinical rationale for the right next step: the appropriate specialized screener, assessment, test, or referral for that patient. TriageIQ™ doesn't replace the focused instruments that follow — it tells the team which ones a given patient needs.

ACOs and value-based organizations, MSOs, FQHCs, and FFS multi-specialty groups all need the same thing at intake: a fast, practical way to identify risk across the whole patient before the visit begins. TriageIQ™ was built for exactly that role.

Find What Others Miss

Direction Before Diagnosis

Much of the risk that drives chronic disease develops quietly — across more than one system, and well before it becomes an obvious clinical complaint. The TriageIQ™ Chronic-Risk Pre-Screeners are built to help close that gap: a fast, structured, documentable pre-screening process at intake that may surface potential risk signals earlier in the care journey.

Traditional screeners are typically used only after a risk is already suspected. TriageIQ™ models moves risk identification toward the front of the visit — before the provider determines whether further evaluation, focused screening, testing, treatment planning, monitoring, or follow-up may be appropriate. As the primary chronic-risk pre-screener in the TriageIQ™ family, TriageIQ™ Adult is designed for adult clinical intake and helps providers identify early risk signals in about 3 minutes.

The TriageIQ™ process can be embedded into routine intake, telehealth visits, chronic-care outreach, annual wellness workflows, care-management programs, ACO/VBC population health initiatives, FQHC workflows, or other patient interactions. Applied broadly rather than selectively, it gives providers a consistent method for identifying early risk signals across their entire adult patient population.

Because chronic disease rarely stays within a single system, related risk signals may surface across more than one area of care at once — reflecting the compounding, multi-system risk TriageIQ™ is designed to help surface sooner.

One Starting Point

The clinical rationale is straightforward: chronic risk rarely presents in only one category. Patients living with overlapping chronic conditions often carry interacting risks that influence one another — and those interactions are easy to miss when each concern is screened in isolation, if it is screened at all.

TriageIQ™ helps providers identify potential risk signals during intake, creating a structured starting point for provider review when clinically appropriate. It does not diagnose. It does not replace clinical judgment. It organizes early risk signals so the provider can decide what should happen next.

The pathway is the core platform because adult and older-adult populations typically carry the highest concentration of chronic-disease burden, quality gaps, and care-management needs.

From Pediatric to Geriatric

While TriageIQ™ Adult is the primary platform, the TriageIQ™ family is built to support organizations that care for patients across the lifespan. For clinics, FQHCs, ACOs, MSOs, and health systems serving broader populations, TriageIQ™ can support age-specific pre-screening pathways from pediatric to geriatric care — each designed to fit its population rather than forcing every age group into the same intake model, and each keeping the underlying methodology, criteria, and review logic proprietary.

For an FQHC, that can mean a single approach spanning whole-family care, pediatric access, adolescent risk awareness, adult chronic-risk identification, and geriatric care coordination. For an ACO or value-based organization, it can mean earlier visibility into patient risk, care-gap prioritization, longitudinal monitoring, and more consistent front-end documentation across diverse populations.

One Platform (different models)

Together, the TriageIQ™ family functions as a proprietary, age-stratified, pre-screening system designed to help organizations identify early signals from pediatric to geriatric care. TriageIQ™ Adult remains the primary clinical and strategic pathway, because it aligns most directly with chronic-disease burden, population health priorities, care-management programs, and the populations where early risk identification matters most.

Each TriageIQ™ model uses a proprietary, age-appropriate methodology designed for its specific population, workflow, and provider-review pathway. TriageIQ™ does not begin with diagnosis. It begins with direction.
