What are ‘Alerts’ in My Wellness Passport (MWP)?
Alerts
are notifications automatically emailed by My Wellness Passport (MWP) to service providers when youth respond to specific questions in the Minimum Data Set (MDS) in ways that indicate a degree of risk to their safety. Alerts are sent to service providers who will be connecting with youth, so that they can check in with those youth and address any concerns based on their responses.
The subject line of the email from My Wellness Passport is “Safety alert: Youth health alert/ Avis de sécurité : alerte quant à la santé du/de la jeune”
How do “Alerts” work?
Initial alert:
When youth complete When a client answers the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) or the Gain-SSas part of the MDS, they may respond to sensitive questions (i.e., suicide risk) in a way that warrants immediate attention of a service provider. In these scenarios, service providers can be will be alerted directly through the YWHO Data Collection Platform.the last item (“thoughts that you would be better off dead or hurting yourself in some way”) in a way (e.g., “on several days,” “more than half of days,” or “nearly every day” in the past two weeks) that warrants a check-in by service providers and further exploration of suicidality (e.g., C-SSRS). When this occurs on the PHQ-9, service providers will be alerted that youth have responded in this way directly through MWP, the YWHO data collection platform.*
The alert will be a “Safety alert: Youth health alert” The alert will be an email sent to the service provider that the client (s) to whom the youth is tagged to (i.e., Owner). This is done for alerting the service provider who is to provide service to the client that day.
Sample “alert” email:
, “visit owner,” as per data collection platform language); This represents the service provider(s) who will be having a session with the youth that day (or within the next 72 hours). It is recommended that one staff member, in addition to the tagged “visit owner,” also receive the alert and has the capacity to respond if need be.
Please note that hubs themselves have the option of adding up to two people (e.g., service providers/managers) to receive initial alerts, in addition to the tagged service provider(s) who will be meeting with the youth.
Second step alert:
If the tagged service provider(s) does not respond to the initial alert described above within 30 minutes, a second step alert will be emailed to alternate staff member(s), set up by the hubs on the data collection platform, in order to follow up with the tagged service provider and/or youth. The second step alert can be emailed to intake staff, the hub manager, a secondary available service provider etc. This step is to ensure that alerts are not missed, and that someone checks in with the youth.
It is at hubs’ discretion as to the process they create in responding to second step alerts if the tagged service provider does not acknowledge the initial alert.

* If youth complete the Global Appraisal of Individual Needs – Short Screener (GAIN-SS; an optional survey not part of the current MDS), youth may respond to the fifth item (“When was the last time you had significant problems with thinking about ending your life or committing suicide?”) in a way (e.g., “past month,” “2-12 months ago,” or “1+ years ago”) that warrants a check-in by service providers and further exploration of suicidality (e.g., C-SSRS). When this occurs on the GAIN-SS, service providers will also be alerted that youth have responded in this way directly through MWP, the YWHO data collection platform. A similar process as described for the PHQ-9 applies.
