The DMHAS/DDaP workflow within CT HMIS has been updated for all applicable Street Outreach and PATH programs. In collaboration with DMHAS EQMI, extensive data fields that are not strictly required for the homeless outreach level of care have been removed to reduce data entry burdens while ensuring DDaP upload compatibility.

The updated DMHAS / DDAP (Input) – SHORT v2 and H2H and SNOFO DMHAS/DDAP (Summary) V2 assessments have been fully deployed to production template workflows.

The following sections and data fields have been entirely removed or marked as not required:

• Demographics & Screenings: Religion , Tobacco Use , and Co-Occurring Assessment Date.

• Mental Health & Substance Abuse Screenings: Mental Health Screening Tools/Scores , Trauma/Suicidality/Gambling sub-questions , and Substance Abuse Screening Tools/Scores.

• Socioeconomic Status: Employment Status , Highest Grade Completed , Dependents/Minors on Income , and Principal Income Source.
