Health Risk Screening Tool - I/DD

The Maryland Department of Health, under the Developmental Disabilities Administration, is seeking feedback from the vendor community on an established web-based advanced screening tool to identify and assess health and welfare risks, functional status, behavior, and physiological factors for participants receiving services in DDA’s waiver. The goal of the agency is to determine if there is one tool that can be used by nonclinical staff to do both. The web-based tool will support the screening of approximately 25,000 participants and will be utilized by non-clinical staff to conduct the screening. • The tool will be used by non-clinical staff to identify risks before a crisis occurs. • Primary users for screening are case managers. • Results will be utilized by the participant’s team, DDA administrative teams, and clinical supports. • The tool will guide appropriate service planning and resource management. • The tool will be able to integrate with Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS) Maryland or other systems utilized by DDA.
