NOFA

• Earlier this year a new HMIS Consent form was sent out.

• The initial target was for all Emergency Shelters to begin to use it.

• Now we need to find out if you all have incorporated the new HMIS Consent form for your other programs.

• We will be contacting agencies to see if you are using it.

New HMIS Consent Form

• Spring of this year we introduced a new snap shot Data Quality Report.

• Since then we have been working to perfect it and it looks pretty darn good now!

• It can be accessed through the CTHMIS.com website.

Data Quality Report

• On the left hand side of the website log into CTHMIS.com:

Data Quality Report

• After you have logged on you will be able to access the Data Quality Report from the right hand side.

• You then can access any month that is posted.

• Let me now review the report with you.

Data Quality Report

• If you have questions about the report please contact the Help Desk

• As an HDC you are to have Agency Admin user status.

• As such you can go in and update certain agency information within Service Point.– PROVIDE agencies would need to

contact GTI to update this information.

• The section we are reviewing today is: Bed and Unit Inventory.

Bed and Unit Information

• First log onto HMIS.• Then at the top tabs click on the

Admin tab.• From there choose Admin Provider.

Where to find this information

• If you don’t have the Admin tab you are not an Agency Admin and need to attend a training.

• Once you click on Admin Providers you will need to open all the information by clicking on the little box that says :”Expand All”

• The you will go down to where it says Child Providers and click on the first program you want to go into.

• Then look for the section that says ”Bed and Unit Inventory” and click on it to enter this section.

Where to find this information

HIV or AIDS?– Any history of substance use issues?

NOTE: Yes to any of these should also signal you to supply yes to “Disability” questions.

AND

Chronically Homeless

Chronically Homeless

• As an HDC you should be making sure that your users are using HMIS on a regular basis.

• One way to do that is running the ART D102 User Status Report.

• This report will tell you how long it has been since the last time a user has logged on last.

• Nutmeg uses this report to determine when a user should be deleted due to inactivity.– Normally 365 days means we will delete a user for

inactivity.– There are certain circumstances however when we might

delete a user sooner.

D102 User Status Report
