A series of new tools and instructions has been developed as part of the Comprehensive Assessment and Planning Model - Interim Solution (CAPMIS). CAPMIS is a comprehensive assessment model used to guide and support child protective services workers in making accurate and effective decisions to promote child safety, permanency, and well-being.

At this time, the JFS 01412 "Comprehensive Assessment and Planning Model - I.S., Semiannual Administrative Review" (12/2005) and the JFS 01410 "Comprehensive Assessment and Planning Model - I.S., Case Plan" (12/2005) are being incorporated into the Family, Children and Adult Services Manual in accordance with the Child and Family Services Review (CFSR) Program Improvement Plan (PIP). These tools have been revised to incorporate the philosophy of CAPMIS and make the tools more family-friendly.

A public children services agency (PCSA) will begin to use the two tools at the time the PCSA implements the statewide automated child welfare database (SACWIS) or prior to SACWIS, if the agency has received CAPMIS implementation training.

The JFS 01410, JFS 01412 and their instructions will not be available in hardcopy from the ODJFS warehouse. They can be viewed on line at: http://www.odjfs.state.oh.us/forms/inter.asp.

If you have questions regarding this change, please contact the Office for Children and Families Help Desk at (866) 886-3537 (Option 4) or via e-mail at help-desk-ocf@odjfs.state.oh.us.
