Avoiding Preventable Death Using the HRST: A Review of the Latest Mortality Research
For several years, Georgia’s Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) has used the Health Risk Screening Tool (HRST) in its annual mortality report. In this webinar, we’ll briefly examine the latest report, its findings, and how you can use this data to avoid preventable, unnecessary deaths among those you support.

Health Risk-Informed Telemedicine: A Model for Improving Health Equity for People with IDD
Equitable access to telemedicine and other healthcare services is a challenge for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) because most clinicians are not aware of the unique health risks that exist for this population. As a result, the health conditions most likely to result in morbidity and mortality are overlooked or misdiagnosed.
This presentation highlights an innovative model and public/private partnership between IntellectAbility, StationMD, and the Missouri Division of Developmental Disabilities comprised of three key elements: online clinician education in IDD healthcare, the use of web-based health risk-informed data, and IDD competent telemedicine supports.
Strategies for preventing unnecessary emergency department visits, promoting identification and diagnosis of often-missed health conditions, and addressing health disparities for people with IDD will be explored.
