Casebook is a powerful tool that offers organizations the ability to customize and tailor their data management system to suit their specific needs. We understand that organizations using Casebook often have unique requirements, and that's why we've been working hard to deliver the customization features you’ve been asking for. One such common request from our users is the ability to edit, hide, or remove unused fields within the platform. In the past, Casebook only allowed this level of customization on Case records, which could be configured via the Admin → Engage → Dynamic pages feature. Today, we are excited to share some fantastic news with you: we have listened to your requests and extended the full functionality of Dynamic pages to the Person profile! Expanding Dynamic Pages to the Person Profile The ability to tailor the Person profile to meet your organization's specific needs is crucial for efficient and effective data management. That's why we have now made it possible for Administrators to access Dynamic pages under Admin → People → Dynamic pages. This exciting update allows you to customize various sections of the Person profile, including Identity, Contact, Health and Medical, Education, and Employment and Finances. Customization Options With this latest update, Administrators can now: Rename sections, fields, and field groups: This feature enables you to customize the Person profile to better align with your organization's terminology and workflow, making it easier for your team to navigate and use. Archive (and unarchive) fields: If you have fields that are not required by the Casebook platform, you can now archive them to keep your Person profile clean and focused on the information that matters most. Archived fields can also be easily un-archived if needed. Apply Dynamic page settings to all new and existing people: This new functionality ensures that any customization you make to the Person profile will be applied consistently across all new and existing profiles and in all "Add person" forms throughout Access, Intake, Engage, and Track. Introducing Custom Fields We understand that different organizations have unique information tracking requirements. To further enhance the customization capabilities of the Person profile, Administrators can now add custom fields at the bottom of each section. These custom fields offer additional flexibility to track important information that your organization needs to document. Moreover, custom fields can be made required or optional to suit your specific documentation and reporting needs.

From Reentry to Stability: Preventing Recidivism

People released from all types of detention facilities may not be fully prepared to re-enter society. They will transition from a life in which they had few choices to one in which they will have much greater control over their decisions. Many public resources bar ex-offenders, taking away supports that could help establish a crime-free life. The returnees find themselves at a crossroads; they can repeat the poor choices that led them to incarceration or make better ones and correct their life direction. Case managers coordinate with other service providers for their expertise and resources so that the client has a framework for making better decisions. , As discussed in a previous post, “Reduce Recidivism with the Right Assessment Tools”, case managers must meet with individuals who seek help or for whom you received a referral and screen them for eligibility. After a thorough screening, it’s time to move onto the next phase and develop the case management plan. Ideally, a single case plan is developed with input from all agencies interacting with the client - including the corrections, probation, and community-based providers - and the case plan follows the client into the community upon release. The corrections facility staff can provide insights on that to supplement your own assessment. In-Reach There is not a hard line between eligibility screening and initiating the services that meet each client’s constellation of needs. You can use the time you spend with them for screening to begin building trust. Many may not know what to expect when they return to society, particularly if they have been incarcerated for years. All of the networks from their life before incarceration may be broken. They might have lost family connections. Employment, housing, and public benefits are gone. Terms of release are likely to restrict contact with family and friends if they also have criminal histories. Assessment can flow into informal discussions with clients about their need to rebuild and what they have available to them. Defining those needs is the starting point for identifying the right post-release assistance and to create the structure for the service plan you will coordinate. Basic information about the client goes into the initial Casebook file. You can build on that with notes from your interviews. If you have set up a directory of providers within the program, you can enter them into the file as a workflow for the interventions you anticipate. Casebook provides organizations with the flexibility to configure it to suit their needs. Users can establish appropriate values for tracking legal factors for reentry. If the client has been sentenced to a period of probation or parole, you can maintain information about the requirements and the client’s compliance. This includes the assigned officer, when the client must report, and any other key information about terms and conditions of supervision. You can be a partner to the community probation or parole supervisor to support the client in making good choices and avoiding new offenses or technical violations that could return them to incarceration.

Many public resources bar ex-offenders, taking away supports that could help establish a crime-free life. The returnees find themselves at a crossroads; they can repeat the poor choices that led them to incarceration or make better ones and correct their life direction. Case managers coordinate with other service providers for their expertise and resources so that the client has a framework for making better decisions. , As discussed in a previous post, “Reduce Recidivism with the Right Assessment Tools”, case managers must meet with individuals who seek help or for whom you received a referral and screen them for eligibility. After a thorough screening, it’s time to move onto the next phase and develop the case management plan. Ideally, a single case plan is developed with input from all agencies interacting with the client - including the corrections, probation, and community-based providers - and the case plan follows the client into the community upon release.

All of the networks from their life before incarceration may be broken. They might have lost family connections. Employment, housing, and public benefits are gone.

Basic information about the client goes into the initial Casebook file. You can build on that with notes from your interviews. If you have set up a directory of providers within the program, you can enter them into the file as a workflow for the interventions you anticipate. Casebook provides organizations with the flexibility to configure it to suit their needs. Users can establish appropriate values for tracking legal factors for reentry. If the client has been sentenced to a period of probation or parole, you can maintain information about the requirements and the client’s compliance.

Counseling and Crisis Response Support Police social workers complement the efforts of law enforcement officers, expanding the services provided by local police and sheriff’s departments. According to ZipRecruiter, they “provide counseling and crisis response support for community members who are referred by police officers.” They can be employed by various law enforcement organizations or by social service agencies that partner with law enforcement. Crisis social work is often challenging and risky, although it’s valuable and potentially very rewarding as well. In addition to providing support for domestic violence and substance abuse victims, police social workers collaborate with first-responders to negotiate with distressed individuals. They counsel those who are grieving for lost loved ones and develop programs for at-risk youth. To facilitate their own efforts, they also provide counseling to police officers and their families, as well as training programs to address: Stress management Mental illness Substance abuse Domestic violence Child abuse A lot can happen in just one shift doing this type of social work. Unpredictable events are a common occurrence. The intense demands of the job are enough to test anyone’s mettle. Nonetheless, your role as a police social worker would be to act as a stabilizing force in the midst of what are often chaotic and dangerous situations. This job calls for poise and resilience that characterize remarkably few people — that’s why there’s such a great need for them. A Bridge to Essential Resources The police social worker's function as a civilian crisis responder places them in a unique position — much like a bridge to vital resources that people could desperately need. People seeking help may require counseling beyond a police officer’s abilities, and so would potentially need referrals for treatment. Children and other vulnerable people may respond differently to unarmed social workers than to police officers, so providing police social workers creates additional essential resources to help cover gaps in the system. These workers effectively enhance the overall breadth of services provided by law enforcement and crisis response officials. They often make follow-up calls that police officers can’t commit to as they’re typically responding to high-priority dispatches. Plus, they help connect people to the services and available resources they need. It would be difficult to overstate the value these workers provide to their clients, the agencies they work with, and the communities they serve.

According to ZipRecruiter, they “provide counseling and crisis response support for community members who are referred by police officers.” They can be employed by various law enforcement organizations or by social service agencies that partner with law enforcement. Crisis social work is often challenging and risky, although it’s valuable and potentially very rewarding as well. In addition to providing support for domestic violence and substance abuse victims, police social workers collaborate with first-responders to negotiate with distressed individuals. They counsel those who are grieving for lost loved ones and develop programs for at-risk youth. To facilitate their own efforts, they also provide counseling to police officers and their families, as well as training programs to address: Stress management Mental illness Substance abuse Domestic violence Child abuse A lot can happen in just one shift doing this type of social work. Unpredictable events are a common occurrence. The intense demands of the job are enough to test anyone’s mettle. Nonetheless, your role as a police social worker would be to act as a stabilizing force in the midst of what are often chaotic and dangerous situations. This job calls for poise and resilience that characterize remarkably few people — that’s why there’s such a great need for them. A Bridge to Essential Resources The police social worker's function as a civilian crisis responder places them in a unique position — much like a bridge to vital resources that people could desperately need. People seeking help may require counseling beyond a police officer’s abilities, and so would potentially need referrals for treatment. Children and other vulnerable people may respond differently to unarmed social workers than to police officers, so providing police social workers creates additional essential resources to help cover gaps in the system. These workers effectively enhance the overall breadth of services provided by law enforcement and crisis response officials. They often make follow-up calls that police officers can’t commit to as they’re typically responding to high-priority dispatches. Plus, they help connect people to the services and available resources they need. It would be difficult to overstate the value these workers provide to their clients, the agencies they work with, and the communities they serve.

Workflows have undergone a rapid evolution in just the past few years. What used to require the hands-on cooperation of several people working onsite can now be handled by a small team of well-equipped professionals who collaborate remotely and more efficiently than anyone who still relies on manual workflow processes. Modern workflow processes have been revolutionized by automation. According to 72 percent of organizations, this type of business process management boosts operational efficiency and improves customer satisfaction. Given their conservative approach to adopting new technologies, human services organizations may realize even more profound benefits from streamlining their workflows with cloud-based services than those of other industries. 5 Big Benefits of Cloud-Based Workflows Automation is central to the appeal of cloud workflows. As manual workflows get traded in for automated processes accessible from anywhere through the cloud, organizations are cutting costs and boosting productivity by reducing inefficiencies across their operations. Given the rate of innovation in cloud technology, it's no surprise that half of organizations are serious about improving their workflows. Human services organizations can find several benefits in automated, cloud-based workflows, including: Independence from slow, error-prone manual processes Time savings that help yield higher productivity Deeper and more fluid team collaboration Enhanced customer experiences Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) play an outsized role in delivering benefits through automated workflows. Besides the time and labor saved by these technologies, AI/ML capabilities are increasingly sought for the power of real-time data analysis. Human services professionals can leverage AI/ML to pour through massive amounts of data and inform their decisions about their clients rather than resort to guesswork over what kind of intervention may work for someone. Looking closer at how cloud-based workflows can support human services organizations, you'll notice quite a few benefits that elevate the cloud above other workflow solutions. Faster Task Management Workflow automation accelerates the completion of tasks, according to 42 percent of business leaders. A cloud-based software platform offering accessibility from a variety of mobile devices can not only automate workflows, but can also save your workers time and energy by freeing them from daily trips to and from the office. By streamlining your processes through software, platform, or infrastructure as a service (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), the benefits to be gained in speed and efficiency are more than considerable. Fewer Processing Errors Manual workflows are highly prone to human error. Paper forms can easily get misplaced or damaged. Handwriting is often illegible. Your staff may also be adding to the confusion by entering the wrong data into systems. Besides the costly delays that processing errors bring to your organization, compliance issues could also arise during an audit. Cloud-based workflows help to mitigate these potential problems by cutting down on manual errors, according to half of business leaders and employees. Lower Labor Costs Cloud-based workflows allow smaller teams to accomplish the same amount of work as they would using manual processes. This leads to a decrease in payroll costs and, through automation, repetitive tasks consume fewer labor hours. Considering the reduction in processing errors that cloud workflows can bring, even more of your staff's time is saved without the need to correct those errors. Ultimately, automated workflows in the cloud deliver the benefit of cost savings to your organization multiple times over. Enhanced Scalability The inability to easily scale with the growth of your organization is a conspicuous limitation of manual workflows. To scale your manual processes, you would have to hire more personnel or add to your existing staff's workloads. SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS solutions make scaling a simple affair, allowing different automated tasks to occur simultaneously. This accelerates your processes while decreasing your organization's demand for human labor. The scalability offered by the cloud provides these crucial additional benefits to your workflows.

A cloud-based software platform offering accessibility from a variety of mobile devices can not only automate workflows, but can also save your workers time and energy by freeing them from daily trips to and from the office. By streamlining your processes through software, platform, or infrastructure as a service (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), the benefits to be gained in speed and efficiency are more than considerable. Fewer Processing Errors Manual workflows are highly prone to human error. Paper forms can easily get misplaced or damaged. Handwriting is often illegible. Your staff may also be adding to the confusion by entering the wrong data into systems. Besides the costly delays that processing errors bring to your organization, compliance issues could also arise during an audit. Cloud-based workflows help to mitigate these potential problems by cutting down on manual errors, according to half of business leaders and employees. Lower Labor Costs Cloud-based workflows allow smaller teams to accomplish the same amount of work as they would using manual processes. This leads to a decrease in payroll costs and, through automation, repetitive tasks consume fewer labor hours. Considering the reduction in processing errors that cloud workflows can bring, even more of your staff's time is saved without the need to correct those errors. Ultimately, automated workflows in the cloud deliver the benefit of cost savings to your organization multiple times over. Enhanced Scalability The inability to easily scale with the growth of your organization is a conspicuous limitation of manual workflows. To scale your manual processes, you would have to hire more personnel or add to your existing staff's workloads. SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS solutions make scaling a simple affair, allowing different automated tasks to occur simultaneously. This accelerates your processes while decreasing your organization's demand for human labor. The scalability offered by the cloud provides these crucial additional benefits to your workflows.

Why Streamlined Documentation Matters: Using Software for Schools

Casebook’s configurable platform can be adapted to suit the needs of many organizations, not just those in human services. Educational institutions specifically are ideal settings to deploy scalable cloud-based software. Not just for student case managers, Casebook is perfectly suited to aid teachers, counselors, and administrators in carrying out their diverse duties. Let’s see what it is about the academic environment that makes Casebook a model choice of software for schools of all kinds. Facilitating Tutorials and After school Programs Tracking the attendance and progress of students in after school clubs, tutorials, and programs provided by outside vendors can be challenging. Accurate documentation about these interactions is especially important for your school’s record-keeping, as well as for the student experience. Casebook deposits this information in a secure server accessible from your mobile device, making paper-based and on-premise digital records outdated and unwieldy by comparison. Administrators can then pull customized reports to gauge the success of these programs and their students. In addition, any accommodation that a student may need, such as extra time for an exam, are easily recorded and referenced directly within the platform. Because these kinds of details can often get lost in the normal hubbub of the school day, having a consistent, secure, and streamlined process for managing this data is a big step forward. With today’s educators expecting quick, digitally-based procedures in most contexts, it benefits your school to meet them where they are. How Casebook Handles ARD, IEPs, and 504s Given the importance of the Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) process for students in special education, consistency in the documentation of student accommodations is critical. For students enrolled in Individualized Education Programs (IEP), schools have to maintain relevant health information, progress reports, restrictions, standardized test results, 504 accommodation plans, and more. Casebook makes this quick and painless, allowing your staff to log and track all accommodations provided to a student, track a student’s progress toward their goals, and document all the outcomes. Keeping confidential IEP records secure is elementary with Casebook. Schools that rely on hard copies of files can struggle to keep them safely locked away. However, granting or restricting access to these records is a simple click-by-click process with Casebook’s intuitive software. Faculty, staff, and volunteers can document their work in the platform, then easily pull reports when gathering data for an ARD or any other meeting. These benefits in particular make Casebook an optimal choice of software for schools. Feature-Rich Software for Schools of All Sizes Casebook’s mobile-optimized software equips educators with a range of configurable tools to help them do their crucial jobs. Volumes of paper files may now be discarded in favor of a single digital platform that you can access wirelessly. Off-duty discussions about students are no longer necessary, as these conversations can readily take place in a secure online forum. Counselors needn’t disrupt lessons by visiting classrooms to inquire after students anymore. This is all due to Casebook’s powerful yet simple features.

Keeping confidential IEP records secure is elementary with Casebook. Schools that rely on hard copies of files can struggle to keep them safely locked away. However, granting or restricting access to these records is a simple click-by-click process with Casebook’s intuitive software. Faculty, staff, and volunteers can document their work in the platform, then easily pull reports when gathering data for an ARD or any other meeting. These benefits in particular make Casebook an optimal choice of software for schools. Feature-Rich Software for Schools of All Sizes Casebook’s mobile-optimized software equips educators with a range of configurable tools to help them do their crucial jobs. Volumes of paper files may now be discarded in favor of a single digital platform that you can access wirelessly. Off-duty discussions about students are no longer necessary, as these conversations can readily take place in a secure online forum. Counselors needn’t disrupt lessons by visiting classrooms to inquire after students anymore. This is all due to Casebook’s powerful yet simple features. Let’s look closer at the features that make Casebook particularly well-suited software for schools.

If your organization's workflow process isn't paperless, you may be exposing yourself and your clients to easily avoidable security risks. There are many benefits of a paperless process, but you may not consider some basic ways in which relying on paper versions of forms, files, and essential documents leave your organization and clients potentially vulnerable. Here are three ways your organization can improve data security with a paperless process. Files Can't Be Misplaced or Lost Without filing cabinets full of paper forms, your team can't lose track of important documents, historical information, or miscategorize files. Digital forms and document upload allow for almost instant access to the information you need, improving efficiency - but also makes sure nothing is ever lost from a client file. Lost files or potential device exposure During home studies, facility inspection, or other out-of-office activities, your team could have sensitive information on paper files or device storage - potentially exposing your client and organization to liability. A digitized process in-the-field should include instant upload and sync to a secure cloud vs. hosting any data on the physical device storage. This allows for both better note-taking, data fidelity, and security for your client forms and scanned documents. When Crisis Strikes, it Won't Impact Your Data, Files or Workflow When crisis strikes you shouldn't be worried about your documents and sensitive client information being lost of exposed. Not having a digitized process leaves your organization's paper-based data liable to damage or destruction. Your insurance may cover your losses, but without an offsite server and data redundancy, you can't recover critical information lost to the disaster. Your data being safely on the cloud also means your team can get back to helping your clients, which is especially important during a time of uncertainty. Cloud-based data solutions mean your data is always safe, secure, available and reliable. If you'd like to know more about Casebook security or how to secure data in the cloud, you'll find that in 2020 you can't afford to place your organization and clients at risk by not investing in securing your data.

How Can Configurable Technologies Help Human Service Agencies Support Changes in Policy and Practice?

In parallel with the evolution of technology, policy and practice models continue to change to meet both regulatory requirements and best practices as understood through quantitative and qualitative research. We asked Elisha Gilliam, Director of Practice Integration, Casebook PBC / Senior Associate at the Annie E. Casey Foundation about the challenges and impact of new technologies. Since the implementation of major IT systems for child welfare and other human services, have practice models changed? Practice models and approaches in child welfare are ever changing. Research, federal policy changes, and societal shifts make it necessary for practice models to shift to meet the needs. These new practice models aim to produce good outcomes for vulnerable children, families, and communities. IT systems have made it possible to gain access to data in order to evaluate what works and what’s not working in the field. What challenges do personnel have with their legacy systems and implementing new practice elements within them? When I speak to both agency leaders and frontline staff, they often complain about how cumbersome it is to input data into their legacy systems. They also express concerns about the validity of the data they can retrieve. The current IT systems don’t allow for easy changes as policies change. Often to accommodate shifts in a policy, they tend to build workarounds to capture data until changes in their system can be made. These workarounds can be a big challenge in our county-administered systems since they have must send those requests up to the state level IT department to make adjustments. By the time that change is made, the local jurisdiction may have moved on to a new practice change. When agencies must accommodate policy changes with rigid legacy systems, what operational impacts can occur? When IT systems can’t be easily adjusted to support practice changes, it takes a toll on staff and the financial resources of the agency. They often have had to purchase additional software products to create what’s needed to capture data, which also requires staff to use multiple products. One of the most significant sacrifices for child welfare front line workers is time away from working with the families and children who need their support, because the worker spends substantial time completing administrative duties on often inflexible systems.

By the time that change is made, the local jurisdiction may have moved on to a new practice change. When agencies must accommodate policy changes with rigid legacy systems, what operational impacts can occur? When IT systems can’t be easily adjusted to support practice changes, it takes a toll on staff and the financial resources of the agency. They often have had to purchase additional software products to create what’s needed to capture data, which also requires staff to use multiple products. One of the most significant sacrifices for child welfare front line workers is time away from working with the families and children who need their support, because the worker spends substantial time completing administrative duties on often inflexible systems. In parallel with the evolution of technology, policy and practice models continue to change to meet both regulatory requirements and best practices as understood through quantitative and qualitative research. We asked Elisha Gilliam, Director of Practice Integration, Casebook PBC / Senior Associate at the Annie E. Casey Foundation about the challenges and impact of new technologies. Since the implementation of major IT systems for child welfare and other human services, have practice models changed? Practice models and approaches in child welfare are ever changing. Research, federal policy changes, and societal shifts make it necessary for practice models to shift to meet the needs. These new practice models aim to produce good outcomes for vulnerable children, families, and communities. IT systems have made it possible to gain access to data in order to evaluate what works and what’s not working in the field. What challenges do personnel have with their legacy systems and implementing new practice elements within them? When I speak to both agency leaders and frontline staff, they often complain about how cumbersome it is to input data into their legacy systems. They also express concerns about the validity of the data they can retrieve. The current IT systems don’t allow for easy changes as policies change.
