Hello CT HMIS Coordinated Access Network Users!

The new DOH CAN Workflow modifications* are now live in CT HMIS. To accommodate an updated CAN workflow process, we’ve added the ability to handle walk-in clients that were not directly referred from 211 to a scheduled appointment. Additionally, some general data collection changes have been made to collect and record additional data or make data collection simpler.

 

*Please note, each CAN is in the process of working with partners to identify the CAN hub locations where walk-ins will occur. It will be determined by CAN policy/procedures, which will be finalized and shared after these changes go live in the CTHMIS system. No site will be designated for walk-in CAN enrollment without notice.
