Full Description
The mission of the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) is to provide statewide leadership of a high-quality mental health and addiction prevention, treatment and recovery system that is effective and valued by all Ohioans. OhioMHAS strives to be a national leader in implementing a comprehensive, accessible, and quality-focused system of addiction and mental health care and wellness for all Ohio citizens. PURPOSE
The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) is seeking proposals from qualified contractors to provide Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) technical assistance and training to the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) providers to improve the quality, efficiency, and outcomes of services for people experiencing homelessness. The objectives for this project are: 1) To ensure effective use of HMIS; 2) Compliance with regulatory requirements; 3) Improve Data Quality; 4) Enhance coordination with the Continuum of Care (CoC); and 5) Improve Outcomes. BACKGROUND
In 2014, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) required the use of HMIS for all PATH programs. The implementation of HMIS for PATH programs allowed for more standardized and comprehensive data collection across services providers, contributing to a more effective and streamlined approach to addressing homelessness. In Ohio, the CoC is the local planning body that coordinates homeless services and one of its key resposibilities is oversight of the implementation and management of HMIS. There are nine CoC’s in Ohio each of them have separate HMIS systems and separate HMIS vedors. Because there is not centralized oversight of HMIS data, this can cause inconsistent data reporting across the state. In addition, some of the CoC’s support the HMIS PATH Data Standards and some do not causing data quality issues. SCOPE OF WORK AND DELIVERABLES
The PATH Project Director is looking to hire a contractor to assist PATH providers with their HMIS data entry, assist with resolving warnings and errors in their reports and enhance coordination with the CoC. The contractor will fulfill the following deliverables:1) Conduct needs assessment and submit report including a timeline to address each deliverable. The contractor should conduct meetings with PATH providers, Behavioral Health Boards, CoC HMIS Administrators, and the State PATH Contact (SPC) to understand the individual needs of each provider.2) Develop a training plan tailored for each PATH provider. This should include both initial and ongoing training needs.3) Provide technical assistance and training to each PATH provider based on the individual training plan.4) Ensure consistent reporting and increased data quality for all PATH providers.5) Work with CoC HMIS Administrators to provide training and technical assistance to ensure they are following the PATH data standards MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS OF CONTRACTOR
