statewide use of an individual client 
14assessment tool; to ensure that each
individual actually 
15receives, in the most effective and efficient combination
and 
16sequence, the full range and continuum of services needed; to 
17ensure that
all available resources are applied appropriately 
18to each individual served;
and to provide a systematic 
19procedure for serving individuals which generates
among and 
20within the local service delivery agencies information 
21required for
effective system management.

23individual living in a community integrated living arrangement

3Tool.    Beginning January 1, 2019, each individual shall receive 
4his or her annual client assessment via the web-based Health

8Code to correspond with this online version of the Health Risk 
9Screening Tool. 
10    "Case coordination" means a mechanism for linking and 
11coordinating segments
of the service delivery system to ensure 
12the most comprehensive program
for meeting an individual 
13client's needs. It facilitates client movement
through an array 
14of services so that at any given time, services received are

15matched to the needs of the individual.
