Due to unforeseen delays with DBH's contracting process with its incident reporting portal vendor, LogicManager, the incident reporting portal will be temporarily unavailable until further notice effective April 1, 2025.

During this period of unavailability, per DBH PPG 1.2.4 (Reporting Incidents and Unusual Occurrences), we will be temporarily reverting to a form-based process. If an incident needs to be reported, please complete the form (attached) and email it encrypted/password-protected to DBHIncidentreporting@fresnocountyca.gov.

We will send out a new notification when the LogicManager incident reporting portal is available for use. Thank you for your assistance during this process.

Mental Health Contractors

Posted on 4/24/25:

Dear Contracted Providers,

The Department of Health Care Services has been in the process of aligning use of the CANS tool across the specialty mental health and child welfare systems. They are taking a phased approach toward the long-term goal of “one kid, one CANS”, and toward that end, are preparing to move to the TCOM CA IP-CANS (IP-CANS) to replace the CANS-50. The type and number of staff able to deliver the IP-CANS will expand to include non-clinicians, as is current practice in child welfare. DHCS will be supporting counties with costs associated with this transition and has requested the MHP report the training needs for our network of providers. Please complete the following survey by 5PM, Tuesday, May 28^th, https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/surveydue5-28-25

If you have any questions, please email DBHStaffDevelopment@FresnoCountyCa.gov .

Thank you,

DBH Staff Development
