10. Documenting Services

All materials developed by ICA are based on the Bitfocus Clarity HMIS platform and reflect the most current information available to us. Materials are updated as new information, guidance, and functionality are released by the vendor. Because the system continues to evolve, there may be updates or changes to the interface or functionality that are not yet reflected in these materials. ICA will continue to review and update these resources as additional information becomes available from Bitfocus. 

Documenting services in HMIS ensures an accurate record of assistance provided to participants. Complete service documentation supports participant care, program reporting, compliance requirements, and measurement of program outcomes.
