GAIN ABS

The GAIN is available online through an account in our GAIN Assessment Building System (ABS). A GAIN ABS account allows users to interactively administer all of the GAIN instruments, immediately generate narrative reports based on the information collected and export the information collected to a data file. It is hosted by Chestnut Health Systems and designed to ensure agencies meet HIPAA (1996) standards and the updated requirements outlined in the HITECH Act (2009).

Immediate client report generation.
Automatic item skips and calculations.
Flexible setup for multiple agencies, staff, versions of instruments, etc.
Hosted by Chestnut Health Systems and requires no maintenance from agency staff.

Paper-only Administration

If your agency is interested in using only the paper version of our instruments and does not want access to our electronic administration, report generation, or data collection and export, you will just need a valid GAIN License Agreement. To get the full benefit of our GAIN tools, Chestnut Health Systems recommends using the GAIN-I and GAIN-Q3 assessments via GAIN ABS. GAIN licensing costs $150 per agency and covers five years of use. To purchase a GAIN license, please complete the GAIN License Agreement and send via email to gaininfo@chestnut.org or fax to 888.268.9828.

For questions or assistance regarding GAIN Licensing or GAIN ABS purchase and implementation, please contact gaininfo@chestnut.org.
