Risk-Needs Assessment System

The County of Orange, Probation is seeking a validated, evidence-based risk-needs assessment system for both juvenile and adult populations. The system should provide assessment tools, reporting capabilities, integration with the County's current case management system, comprehensive training for staff, implementation services, and ongoing support. The system must comply with County IT and CJIS security requirements and allow the County full access to all raw assessment data for analytics and continuous quality improvement. • The system should have a clear scoring structure, reporting tools that support individualized case planning, and the ability to administer initial assessments, reassessments, and progress checks. • The system should ensure access to raw data for analytics and CQI, and integrate assessment results into the department’s case management system. • The system should establish a sustainable training, implementation, and support model, and modernize risk-needs assessment practices in alignment with the Risk-Needs-Responsivity framework. • The system should describe any AI, machine learning, guided interview prompts, or decision-support features that reinforce EBP/CCP-informed interviewing and case planning discussions. • The system should ensure knowledge accumulated during juvenile supervision informs adult supervision when that transition happens.
