SAMS is a web-based data management system used to comply with Administration on Aging reporting requirements as well as integrate data collection with other federal and state funded home and community-based services.

 

Contract entities providing the following services are required to submit program reports using the SAMS data system: ADRL Services; Health Maintenance Services; Nutrition Services; and Outreach Services.

 

Instructions for use of the SAMS data system can be accessed at: www.synergysw.com/support/login.php. Each user must create a user ID to access the standard user manuals. A Help button is in place in the database to assist the user and can used any time when logged into the system.

 

Periodic SAMS trainings and on-going technical assistance are provided by Aging Services Division. Contract entities can request specific trainings on SAMS usage and reporting.

 

A SAMS Agency Summary Report must be generated in the SAMS data system to complete information for the Monthly Data & Payment Report (SFN 269) (235 kb), also generated in the SAMS data system. The SAMS Agency Summary Report must be attached to the Monthly Data & Payment Report and submitted no later than thirty days after the end of the monthly service period.

 

In addition, a SAMS Service Progress Report must be generated in the SAMS data system for Health Maintenance Services and Outreach Services. The SAMS Service Progress Report must be attached to the Monthly Data & Payment Report, and submitted no later than thirty days after the end of the monthly service period.

 

Contract entities may be required to develop and submit additional reports upon request.
