Implementation of InterRAI Assessment Tools

The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) is issuing this Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit responses from InterRAI-licensed software supplier to deliver software for implementation and usage of the interRAI Child and Youth Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities (ChYMH-DD) and Intellectual Disability (ID) assessment tools.

These tools will allow Ohio assessors to complete the specified InterRAI assessments and provide data and reporting for use in person-centered planning, budget creation, and rate setting. The primary goal is to implement the interRAI ChYMH-DD and ID tools, enabling DODD to authorize evidence-based, person-centered care informed by reliable, comprehensive assessments designed to support comprehensive evaluation, care planning, and service delivery for children, youth, and adults with developmental disabilities. Additionally, the project will leverage assessment data to develop acuity-based service bands and rates aligned with individual needs.
