Updates to Alameda CANS 6-17

Hot off the presses - In order to align with DHCS mandates for the CANS, Alameda County BHCS has released an updated version of the CANS 6-17 scoresheet and manual.  You can find both on the Manuals and Scoresheets page.
Changes made in this version include:

• Reorganized items to align with DHCS requirements
• Some items added to align with DHCS requirements
• Some items renamed to align with DHCS requirements
• Trauma ACES changed from 0-3 scoring structure to a no/yes format (KUDOS to David Channer of A Better Way for making this original suggestion to the Praed Foundation)

Any changes not made to comply with a mandate will be coordinated with the large provider community.  Stay tuned for opportunities to get involved in the future!
