Curriculum Measures

CURRICULUM MEASURES

The Texas Department of State health Services (DSHS) requires contractors to monitor their own performance and in some cases, to report curriculum measures to DSHS using the Clinical Management for Behavioral Health Services (CMBHS) system.

The types of measures to be reported are unique to the contract the business entity has with DSHS. This means that measures will be different for every contract and are reported in CMBHS with different data fields.

DSHS contractors that use CMBHS, generally report Program Measures and/or Curriculum Measures. Curriculum measures are reported by certain Prevention Programs on the Curriculum Measures Report page, CMR088.

Before You Start

• The CMBHS business entity must have an executed contract with DSHS that requires the submission of a Curriculum Measures Report.
• The user must be at the business entities’ administrative (parent) location, as measures can only be documented in CMBHS from the administrative location. Curriculum measures cannot be documented from individual provider/clinic locations.
• The user must be assigned a role that permits him/her to select the contract for which the curriculum measures will be submitted and enter the data into CMBHS. Staff responsible for entering measures should be given the CMBHS Measure Specialist role; however, other roles may also access the Measures pages.

Business Rules for Curriculum Measures Reports

• When the user is filling out the Curriculum Measures Report it is in Draft status. If the user CLICKS on Save, the report will be saved in Draft status.
• Only use the Submitted status and Save button if you have finished entering data and confirmed that the information is entered correctly. When you Save the Curriculum Measures Report in Submitted status, you are sending it to DSHS.
• The data in the report can be changed while it is in Draft and Submitted status but cannot be changed after it has been received by DSHS and the report status changed to Approved status.
• CMBHS users can still view their Curriculum Measures Report after their DSHS contract for this service becomes inactive.
