The Washington State Health Care Authority, hereafter called “HCA,” is initiating this Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit proposals to provide a web-based application to support the use of the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) tool. This application will provide a database to collect and store the assessment data, calculate level of care using custom algorithms, and create quality management reports for providers, Prepaid Inpatient Health Plans (PIHPs), and HCA. Data will be entered into the database either directly via the web or through uploads of CANS data collected separately through local data systems to accommodate the preferences and resources of local systems.
HCA intends to award one contract to provide the services described in this RFP.
