Our ModelFrom Screening to Care: The AIFS RELAIS Pathway
RELAIS is how our team helps people move from a first screening to staying connected with care. It is a navigation and follow-through framework, not a clinical diagnosis protocol.
Six steps from first contact to lasting care
Each step builds on the one before it. Relais is French for “relay”: we pass each person safely to the next step in their care.
- Step 1 of 6
Reach
Bring prevention information and screening closer to families through the Center, community events, and partner locations across the Omaha metro.
- Step 2 of 6
Evaluate
Listen to each person’s questions and understand their screening or navigation need.
This step does not replace a clinical evaluation or diagnosis.
- Step 3 of 6
Look for Risk
Notice screening results or barriers that may need attention. Explain clearly what is known and what still needs to be confirmed by a healthcare provider.
- Step 4 of 6
Advise
Share practical, easy-to-understand information. Help the person write down their questions and possible next steps.
- Step 5 of 6
Integrate
Connect the person with appropriate healthcare or community resources, using a warm handoff when a referral pathway is available.
- Step 6 of 6
Sustain
Support continuity and follow-through when the program includes follow-up.
Follow-up depends on staffing, consent, event scope, and participating partners.
Screening scope, referral destinations, and follow-up methods are confirmed by program, event, staffing, consent, and healthcare partner participation.
A clear next step after your screening
We help you understand what comes next. Diagnosis and treatment are provided by licensed healthcare providers.
Warm Referrals
When a referral pathway is available, we connect you to an appropriate healthcare or community resource and explain the handoff.
Removing Barriers
Community Health Workers help with language, forms, appointments, transportation, and navigating the healthcare system.
Follow-Up Support
Where the program includes follow-up, we help you stay on track with your next step. Timelines and outcomes are not guaranteed.
Know what to ask before you arrive
Schedule a screening or call us to ask about upcoming events, location, language support, and what to expect.
