CHCP & screening
Community entry, screening, awareness and referral initiation are documented separately from clinical diagnosis or treatment.
Community Hearing Care · Hearing Care Connect
Hearing care should continue beyond screening.
Hearing Care Connect is SCF’s separate hearing-care ecosystem. It links community awareness and hearing screening with qualified ENT and audiology assessment, referral continuity, treatment or hearing-device pathways where indicated, rehabilitation and documented follow-up.
Continuity Pathway
One pathway from community contact to hearing continuity.
AwarenessCommunity information and appropriate hearing-care entry.
ScreenProgramme-approved hearing screening and need identification.
ReferQualified ENT / audiology linkage where indicated.
AssessClinical and audiological assessment by appropriate professionals.
SupportTreatment, device, rehabilitation or assistance pathway as applicable.
FollowContinuity, rehabilitation, review, transfer or closure.
Programme Architecture
CHCP sits inside a wider hearing-care continuum.
ENT & audiology continuity
Referral, assessment, medical or surgical pathway, audiology and follow-up are linked without assigning clinical responsibility to SCF.
Hearing technology & support
Where clinically indicated, hearing-device access, rehabilitation, counselling and continuity are connected through approved professional pathways.
Operational Boundary
Public programme architecture; protected case continuity.
The public website explains how the hearing-care system works. Individual screening results, referrals, audiology records, clinical assessments, procedures, hearing-device records, support classifications and rehabilitation follow-up remain inside controlled programme systems.
Evidence & Annual Impact
Measure progression through the pathway.
Hearing-care reporting should distinguish screening or service contacts, referrals issued, confirmed clinical linkages, treatment or device episodes, rehabilitation and follow-up. Public claims remain aggregate, de-identified and evidence-status aware.
