Functional Description |

The modules include intake, case management, foster care, reporting, adoption supervision, and licensing for twenty-four hour out of home care.
2. The database contains data on clients, perpetrators, social workers, service providers, and foster care providers and facilities.
3. Document management allows all documents associated with a referral or case to be reviewed by the social worker.
4. Monthly reports at the county and state level have been designed for immediate access and an ad hoc reporting system is provided to the state and each county. Counties may access their own information while the state has a comprehensive view of the data. |
