WITS

Idaho Web Infrastructure for Treatment Services (WITS) is an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system owned and operated by the Division of Behavioral Health (DBH). The system is available for use by various entities, including but not limited to, the Idaho Supreme Court (ISC), Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC), Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections (IDJC), and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery support services providers. DBH's Analytics & Automation Unit provides or arranges technical assistance in resolving difficulties in assessing and using Idaho WITS. 

Accessing WITS

Select the production site in the time zone where your agency/facility is located. This may be different from the time zone in which the client lives.

Providers of Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Services

Accessing WITS

Access to WITS is granted to provider agencies in accordance with the provider agency agreement with Department of Health and Welfare's Division of Behavioral Health.

 

Sunset of the WITS System for SUD Providers

WITS, which is required for IDOC, IDJC, and ISC funded clients and also used by other private providers on their own accord, will begin the sunsetting process on July 1, 2026. At that time no new clients or any other information should be entered into WITS except for encounter notes used to bill IDOC, IDJC, and/or ISC. Providers who are billing IDOC, IDJC, and/or ISC will have until July 30th to complete their batching and billing. 

All SUD providers who currently use WITS will need to switch to their own EHR system by July 1, 2026.

Starting July 31, 2026, SUD providers will have read-only access to WITS until September 30, 2026. On October 1, 2026, WITS will no longer be available for use. The DBH Analytics & Automation Unit will work with SUD provider agencies' designated contacts to provide their requested WITS client and/or billing data reports after the agency is closed in WITS.

If your agency is no longer using WITS and is not contracted with IDOC, IDJC, and/or ISC to work with their clients, please complete and submit the Idaho WITS SUD Provider Withdrawal Form to deactivate your agency within WITS. 

For additional information, please review the April 24, 2025 WITS Sunset for SUD Providers Bulletin and the WITS Sunset FAQ for SUD Providers.

Agency Setup and System Access

Designating a New Agency WITS Administrator (AWA) for an Existing WITS SUD Agency

When designating a new AWA, the current AWA must submit a request through the Online Portal and attach the signed AWA User Information Form and the Idaho SUD WITS User Agreement (when applicable). Agency WITS Administrator (AWA) Training are scheduled on the SUD WITS Calendar (under the accordion header "Calendar"). 

 

How to Obtain WITS Access for a New SUD Provider Agency

Access to WITS is granted only to approved Substance Use Disorder (SUD) providers. An approved provider is a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Treatment or SUD Recovery Support Services (RSS) provider who is approved by ISC, IDOC, or IDJC.

After ISC, IDOC, or IDJC submits the request to add a new agency, the Analytics and Automation Unit will email the new provider agency's point of contact a packet containing information, instructions, and WITS set-up forms.

Once the new provider agency's point of contact submits the completed and signed WITS Agency set-up packet, at least 2 staff members must attend the required WITS Trainings for SUD Treatment Providers or SUD RSS Providers within 30 calendar days. New SUD Treatment Provider WITS Trainings are scheduled once a month under the accordion header "Calendar". SUD Treatment Providers will need to register for the trainings to attend New SUD Treatment Provider WITS Trainings Part 1 and Part 2. SUD RSS Provider training will be scheduled per agency base.

At least one designated Agency WITS Administrator (AWA) must attend the required AWA training within 30 calendar days. The required AWA Training covers how to create staff accounts and to submit the required documentation to the Analytics & Automation Unit through the Online Portal. All other WITS staff accounts for the Provider Agency will be completed by the AWA. 

Upon verification of a minimum of two (2) staff members attending the required WITS trainings within the past 30 calendar days, WITS set-up for the Provider Agency, Facility, and Agency WITS Administrators (AWAs) will be completed within five (5) business days.
