DADS is making Client Abuse and Neglect Reporting System (CANRS) available to HCS and TxHmL providers to allow providers to conduct pre-employment screenings of employees in order to find confirmed allegations of abuse, neglect and exploitation while employed at State Schools, State Hospitals, and State Centers.†The provider letter gives instructions on how such providers may gain access to this database. Providers will be able to simply enter the social security number of a potential (or current) employee into the CANRS screen and a message will appear at the bottom of the screen stating that there is no record found or a screen will appear that shows an employee’s history of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
