I recommend deleting the specific references to ASAPS in the regulation, and instead, substituting the words "state data system". Adult Services and APS are merging with DARS, which has two other state systems. There is no connectivity between ASAPS and the DARS' systems, and in fact, there likely can not be as the systems are on different platforms. ASAPS is also not connected to any DMAS system, and currently, Adult Services' social workers submit handwritten preadmission screenings (UAIs). With the integration of state services, it is hoped that there will be one state data system for services that use the UAI. Deleting ASAPS from the regulation will result in a regulation that is applicable in the future.
