KPMG and Casebook PBC Announce Alliance to Aid Agencies Upgrading Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice Systems KPMG LLP, the U.S. audit, tax and advisory firm, and Casebook PBC, today announced an alliance to help state social service agencies upgrade to next-generation child welfare and juvenile justice systems. The alliance means KPMG will use the Casebook platform in its KPMG Resource Integration Suite for Child Welfare (KRIS-CW). KRIS-CW is a set of technologies and leading practices that help state agencies to modernize service delivery and improve performance outcomes while taking advantage of last year’s federal Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS) final rule. CCWIS is designed to help state agencies upgrade systems that collect and analyze case management data. “The KPMG and Casebook PBC alliance will help child welfare agencies to upgrade to modern IT systems that will allow them to more effectively serve their constituents,” said Paul Hencoski, KPMG principal and leader of the firm’s HHS practice. “Casebook has a proven track record of improving key outcome metrics, such as the number of caseworker meetings with children and children placed with relatives. The combination of KPMG and Casebook PBC will be very attractive to state agencies planning to modernize under CCWIS.” “This alliance brings together two leaders in child welfare, coupling the award-winning Casebook platform with KPMG’s leadership in providing agencies with a streamlined path to modernizing their technology,” said Tristan Louis, president and CEO of Casebook PBC. In the past five years, KPMG has worked with more than 25 states on enterprise modernization initiatives, including helping them plan and implement system upgrades under the CCWIS final rule. Serving as business integrator, KPMG is an industry leader in helping states conceive, strategize, plan and execute program modernization efforts that address organization structure, case practice and targeted technology modernization. With KRIS-CW powered by the Casebook platform, clients will benefit from KPMG’s capabilities while relying on an award-winning Software-as-a-Service package. Casebook is a leading software platform developed hand-in-hand with caseworkers and purpose-built for human services. It has won both the Code for America Technology Award and the UX Magazine’s International Design for Experience Award and is recognized for its groundbreaking user interface. It incorporates social media concepts that are familiar to today’s social workers.

KRIS-CW is a set of technologies and leading practices that help state agencies to modernize service delivery and improve performance outcomes while taking advantage of last year’s federal Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS) final rule. CCWIS is designed to help state agencies upgrade systems that collect and analyze case management data. “The KPMG and Casebook PBC alliance will help child welfare agencies to upgrade to modern IT systems that will allow them to more effectively serve their constituents,” said Paul Hencoski, KPMG principal and leader of the firm’s HHS practice. “Casebook has a proven track record of improving key outcome metrics, such as the number of caseworker meetings with children and children placed with relatives. The combination of KPMG and Casebook PBC will be very attractive to state agencies planning to modernize under CCWIS.” “This alliance brings together two leaders in child welfare, coupling the award-winning Casebook platform with KPMG’s leadership in providing agencies with a streamlined path to modernizing their technology,” said Tristan Louis, president and CEO of Casebook PBC. In the past five years, KPMG has worked with more than 25 states on enterprise modernization initiatives, including helping them plan and implement system upgrades under the CCWIS final rule. Serving as business integrator, KPMG is an industry leader in helping states conceive, strategize, plan and execute program modernization efforts that address organization structure, case practice and targeted technology modernization. With KRIS-CW powered by the Casebook platform, clients will benefit from KPMG’s capabilities while relying on an award-winning Software-as-a-Service package. Casebook is a leading software platform developed hand-in-hand with caseworkers and purpose-built for human services. It has won both the Code for America Technology Award and the UX Magazine’s International Design for Experience Award and is recognized for its groundbreaking user interface. It incorporates social media concepts that are familiar to today’s social workers.

The first functional piece of the state’s innovative new human services platform, the technology will aid county welfare workers as they investigate allegations of child abuse, neglect and exploitation. That’s no small task considering California has nearly 25,000 case workers. The platform development process will have several modules. “The agency is taking a modern, modular, user-centered approach with this project based on an agile methodology,” said Jacqueline Gombach, national director of sales and member of the Executive Council of the CompTIA Human Services Information Technology Advisory Group (HSITAG). “California wants an innovative system that will meet the specific needs of the agency. As an organization whose sole mission is to improve life outcomes for vulnerable children and families through modern technology, we are uniquely positioned to help make that happen.” When fully implemented, the complete platform will provide comprehensive information that child welfare professionals can use to make timely, well-informed decisions regarding child safety. “This project aligns perfectly with our mission, giving us an opportunity to make a real impact in the State of California.” https://gohub.casebook.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/CompTIA_Logo-300x153.jpg?width=1200&name=CompTIA_Logo-300x153.jpg Inaugural Issue of CompTIA World Magazine Feature: Casebook PBC to Develop Intake Technology for CA Child Welfare System In a bid to replace the state’s 20-year-old case management system, California’s Child Welfare Digital Services agency recently awarded Casebook PBC a contract to develop a new digital intake module.

Indiana’s Pioneering Effort to Adopt Casebook is Paying Off Indiana’s Pioneering Effort to Adopt Casebook is Paying Off View from Indiana When Mitch Daniels was elected governor of Indiana in 2005, the state ranked at or near the bottom in virtually every category of child services performance. Daniels tapped Judge James W. Payne, a 20-year veteran juvenile court judge who had pioneered a new court management system, to head a new stand-alone child welfare department that Daniels had created. Payne consulted with the Casey Foundation’s Child Welfare Strategy Group, which helped the state overhaul the way it delivered services. But Payne knew the agency also was thwarted by ineffective data and paper recordkeeping. “The Governor asked me to do whatever it took to fix the system,” Payne says. Working with a provider of traditional child welfare technology, Payne grew frustrated with the lack of progress and took the bold step of starting from scratch. At about that time, Kathleen Feely and her colleagues at Casey approached the department about Casebook, and a “magic” partnership was formed. In 2012, Casebook became a core component of Indiana’s child welfare technology platform, the Management Gateway for Indiana's Kids (MaGIK). When Indiana got a waiver of federal funding regulations on proprietary software in 2014, it was a major victory because the state could now apply for federal aid to support its new system. While work still needs to be done for the agency to incorporate all its administrative functions into Casebook, staff at all levels have embraced the technology. Indiana recently extended its contract with Case Commons for up to five more years. “What we are trying to do here in the Department of Child Services in Indiana is to use modern technology to assist us in a way it never has before,” says Judge Mary Beth Bonaventura, who succeeded Payne and was appointed as director of the department by Governor Mike Pence in 2013. “Case Commons absolutely knows our business. It makes it very seamless in the job that we have to do.” According to Jeff Tucker, former deputy assistant Information Technology director for the Indiana Department of Child Services, the value of Casebook was realized instantly. “We realized the immediate benefits of Casebook—how it has freed up our caseworkers to get away from their desk and get out in the field, and they can catch up on their data entry at a more convenient time for them,” Tucker says. “Child welfare is a 24-7 business; it’s not just a 9-5 job,” notes Regina Ashley, former deputy director of placement support and compliance for the Indiana Department of Child Services and now associate chief operating officer of policy at the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. “So for caseworkers to be able to access Casebook at home, in another office, or in a different part of the state has been invaluable.” Those overseeing caseworkers also see the benefit, according to Kimberly Wells, a family case manager supervisor. “It definitely makes my job easier, because I have everything I need right at my fingertips,” she says. Casebook dramatically cuts down the time it takes to enter data on cases and makes it possible for other social workers, as well as providers outside the system, to submit information, contributing to a fuller picture of the child and family. One way Casebook supports better practice and results is by displaying prominently how long it has been since a caseworker, known in Indiana as a Family Case Manager, has visited a child or helped facilitate visits between a child and family members. Research shows that the more frequent such visits are, the better the outcomes are for kids. Since a metric was embedded into Casebook in January 2013 that records the last contact with a caseworker, there has been a 13.8 percent increase in the share of children with a recorded face-to-face contact with a Family Case Manager in the last 30 days. Also, in April 2014, Case Commons placed a metric on the dashboard of Family Case Managers that displays how many days since each child on a case had a visit with a parent. Before this metric was embedded, there were 815 visits with parents recorded in Casebook per week on average. Since the metric was added, that number has averaged 1,477 visits.

It makes it very seamless in the job that we have to do.” According to Jeff Tucker, former deputy assistant Information Technology director for the Indiana Department of Child Services, the value of Casebook was realized instantly. “We realized the immediate benefits of Casebook—how it has freed up our caseworkers to get away from their desk and get out in the field, and they can catch up on their data entry at a more convenient time for them,” Tucker says. “Child welfare is a 24-7 business; it’s not just a 9-5 job,” notes Regina Ashley, former deputy director of placement support and compliance for the Indiana Department of Child Services and now associate chief operating officer of policy at the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. “So for caseworkers to be able to access Casebook at home, in another office, or in a different part of the state has been invaluable.” Those overseeing caseworkers also see the benefit, according to Kimberly Wells, a family case manager supervisor. “It definitely makes my job easier, because I have everything I need right at my fingertips,” she says. Casebook dramatically cuts down the time it takes to enter data on cases and makes it possible for other social workers, as well as providers outside the system, to submit information, contributing to a fuller picture of the child and family. One way Casebook supports better practice and results is by displaying prominently how long it has been since a caseworker, known in Indiana as a Family Case Manager, has visited a child or helped facilitate visits between a child and family members. Research shows that the more frequent such visits are, the better the outcomes are for kids. Since a metric was embedded into Casebook in January 2013 that records the last contact with a caseworker, there has been a 13.8 percent increase in the share of children with a recorded face-to-face contact with a Family Case Manager in the last 30 days. Also, in April 2014, Case Commons placed a metric on the dashboard of Family Case Managers that displays how many days since each child on a case had a visit with a parent. Before this metric was embedded, there were 815 visits with parents recorded in Casebook per week on average. Since the metric was added, that number has averaged 1,477 visits.
