About the IM+CANS
The IM+CANS is the HFS-approved instrument required in the delivery of the service of Integrated Assessment and Treatment Planning (IATP). IATP is an integrated service that ensures an individual’s assessment of needs and strengths are clearly documented and lead to specific treatment recommendations. Providers must minimally review and update clients’ IATPs every 180 days. Please note that staff must attend a one-day, in-person training and complete annual certification in order to utilize the IM+CANS. Please visit the IMCANS home page to see troubleshooting tips and detailed information regarding portal change log.
