Important Update – IPS CANS in SACWIS
All IPS CANS are now completed in SACWIS and we are excited to have fully transitioned our CANS assessment data collection onto the SACWIS platform.
In order to have access to SACWIS, you must be CANS 2.0 certified (with a certification date on or after February 25th, 2018), have taken the CANS in SACWIS training and have an active NT/DCFS account. For additional information, please see our FAQs page (link).
All IPS clinicians are expected to have full access to SACWIS and be able to complete their CANS within DCFS/IPS program requirements (within 30 days of case opening, at the time of extension and/or at least every 6 months, and/or within 30 days of case closure). SACWIS has been a learning curve for both clinicians and IPS administrative staff and we appreciate everyone’s willingness to adopt this process.
If you are new to IPS and are in the process of gaining access to SACWIS, or you just need a refresher, please find our SACWIS guides and links to virtual trainings below. If you are new to IPS and have not completed the process to gain access to enter CANS in SACWIS, please do so before end of the day on July 6th 2023 to ensure credits are transferred to the new DCFS training venue, the Learning and Development Center, planned to be launched July 10th, 2023.
If you are still in need of support, please refer to our FAQs page. Any additional questions can be directed to IPS Program Coordinator, Sr, Matt Jedlowski (matthew.jedlowski@illinois.gov).
