Wisconsin’s Functional Screen system is a web-based application used to collect information about an individual’s functional status, health and need for assistance for various programs that serve the frail elderly and people with intellectual/developmental or physical disabilities.

The screen is used to determine functional eligibility for certain mental health services, adult long-term care programs and children's long-term support programs. Individuals must complete this on-line training course and pass the certification exams in order to access and administer the screen.

Purpose: To develop a comprehensive understanding of how to administer and complete the functional screen for individuals interested in applying for Wisconsin’s long-term care and mental health programs.

Audience: Wisconsin social workers, registered nurses and other health care professionals seeking certification to administer functional screens for an agency approved by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS).

Certification: Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a certificate of completion. Before you can begin using the functional screen application, you will need to follow the steps provided at the end of the course.
