What is being done about everything listed here? I think on the clinician level we have all known that the CANS has very little use beyond a communication tool. Which can be accomplished better with a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment. It seems criminal that these can be used to determine placements and LOC. But when I try looking for any criticism about the CANS this site is all I could find. While thorough I don’t think change will happen until a movement is started or a lawsuit.

An anonymous whistleblower complaint was filed with the Office of Research Integrity with the Department of Health and Human Services (ORI.HHS.gov). When the investigation is concluded any disciplinary action can be found on the federal website.
