California Outcomes Measurement System Treatment
The California Outcomes Measurement System Treatment (CalOMS Tx) is California's data collection and reporting system for substance use disorder (SUD) treatment services. Data collected facilitates improvements in treatment services delivered to those in need. This data collection is key to ensuring quality improvements that positively affect the lives of SUD service recipients, their families, communities, and public health and social systems.
Participating treatment providers that receive SUD treatment funding from DHCS are required to report treatment outcomes data.
CalOMS Tx data is due to DHCS by the 15th of each month, or approximately within 45 days of the report month.
Counties and direct providers may submit their monthly CalOMS Tx data as soon as it is available, or at any time during the report month (the calendar month in which the admissions, discharges, or annual updates occur).
The CalOMS Tx resource materials can be accessed by authorized CalOMS users at: Behavioral Health Information Systems
For guidance on submitting complete and accurate CalOMS Tx data, please refer to the CalOMS Tx Data Compliance Standards V.3.Drug and Alcohol Treatment Access Report
The Drug and Alcohol Treatment Access Report (DATAR) is a DHCS system to collect data on SUD treatment capacity and waiting lists and is considered a supplement to CalOMS Tx.
Participating treatment providers that receive SUD treatment funding from DHCS are required to submit the one-page DATAR form to DHCS each month. In addition, certified Drug Medi-Cal providers must report whether receiving funds or not. Licensed Narcotic Treatment Programs (NTP) must report when using funds from the grant. Please note that no reporting is possible when the county does not contract with the treatment provider.
- DATAR reports are due each month by the 10th of the following month.
Authorized DATAR users may access the Behavioral Health Information System Portal here: DATAR-WEB REPORTING SYSTEM (AUTHORIZED USERS ONLY)
