Short Description:

Complete Description:
The Division of Aging Services (DoAS) is required to submit an RFP to replace the current waiver of advertising contract for their Aging and Disability Resource Connection Client Tracking System (ADRC-CTS), which is operated using a commercial off the shelf (COTS) system, which is hosted by the COTS system owner. The ADRC-CTS is a web-based application that integrates client tracking, assessment, case management, and service delivery tracking. There are approximately 1100 end users in 400 state, county, and private organizations and over 200,000 records. The ADRC-CTS complies with the US Administration on Aging federal reporting requirements. Additionally, the system has the capacity to comply with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) quality assurance requirement as well as collect and analyze data to comply with other State initiatives. The ADRC-CTS provides New Jersey’s aging and disability networks with access to a comprehensive, client-tracking and care management system. Without such a system, these networks serving older adults, persons with physical disabilities, and caregivers would be at risk.
