The challenge

Children’s shelters typically face deep regulatory requirements coupled with tight budgets. Whether the style of operation is temporary shelter or permanent, family homes or orphanage, foster care or moving toward eventual adoption, each organization displays different workflow structures. In addition, such organizations may also manage related operations such as elementary schools or outpatient clinics. This varied landscape is complex and difficult to support from a single user interface.

The solution

CaseFlow has developed a system which streamlines and saves children’s shelters 25% of their case management time. Agencies searching for a way to organize and automate want something that requires no technical expertise to implement and is easy to learn. And it has to be affordable, because funding is limited.

CaseFlow offers standard and optional features that give any shelter what it needs to process all child paperwork and track their progress:

• We set up the software for you, in compliance with your local regulatory requirements.
• All segments of the operation can be consolidated under an easy-to-learn common user interface, ensuring ease of training.
• Field work is possible from any laptop, tablet or smartphone, enabling you to work even from remote locations.
• CaseFlow can complete any of your organization’s reports or government reports from a click.
• Always know next steps on every case, and what may be holding up the case.
• Automate your template documents to save time and rekeying errors.

Expected outcomes

After implementation a children’s shelter will realize more time to ensure quality care. Children’s stays in the institution may be shortened through better attention to expediting case steps. More work can be done with fewer case workers, helping to contain costs.
