CANS. The Contractor shall administer the age appropriate Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths Assessment (CANS) Comprehensive tool. The Contractor acknowledges that DCS will also conduct periodic CANS for the Child but that assessments by both parties are intentional and may be anticipated to have different results given the timing and context of the assessments. The Contractor also acknowledges that CANS results are used to track outcomes, and that the requirements for CANS may change over the term of the Contract. Initially, the Contractor shall administer the age appropriate CANS within 7 days of admission of a Child to a facility. The Contractor shall perform a CANS reassessment every six (6) months and at discharge. The Contractor shall enter the data from the CANS assessment into the Data Assessment Registry Mental Health and Addictions (DARMHA) database. CANS users must be re-certified as required by the Department of Mental Health and Addiction. The Contractor shall use the CANS results for treatment planning. For the ESC program category, the Contractor may complete the short version of the CANS. The Contractor shall complete the CANS within seven (7) calendar days of admission. If any items are rated as a 2 or 3 on the short version of the CANS, then the comprehensive CANS must be completed by either the facility or by an outside mental health professional qualified to complete the CANS. The short CANS tools include behavioral health needs, functioning and risks for the child and caretakers' needs and strengths. The ratings of individual needs and intensity of service recommendations may be used to support a family's and referral agency's decisions about the next steps and possible interventions. If a Child transitions to a different level of care with the same provider, the CANS completed for discharge may be used at intake to the different level of care (e.g. one CANS for transition purposes can be used for discharge and intake when reporting outcomes to DCS). Additionally, the initial CANS may be used as the discharge cans if the child's placement is seven (7) days or less. If a Child is readmitted to the same ESC that the Child had discharged from within 30 days of the previous discharge date, and if there have been no changes to the Child's environmental, social, mental, or behavioral health needs, then the discharge CANS can be used in lieu of new CANS intake.
