A listing of current FY08 BCCS Contractors and their corresponding TWICES numbers.

TWICES/B&C Module

If you haven't heard about TWICES (Texas Wide Integration Client Encounter System), here's a brief overview. It is a free web-based application that is easily accessed through Internet Explorer on standard computer equipment. The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) has had it in place for many years to support data management for several programs (Immunizations, Primary Health Care, Maternal and Child Health and TB). Each program module is tailored for the needs of the program although the language and logic are the same.

Highlighted on this webpage, BCCS TWICES Information, are areas of interest from the Welcome and Clients Chapters of the TWICES Manual. Please keep in mind that these are fairly common features, but there may be some capabilities that are different or do not exist in the B&C Module.

Also, highlighted on the BCCS TWICES Information webpage are key features of the B&C Module screens that are available to preview.
