Foster Care
Simplify Casework to Grow Services and Focus on Families
Foster care providers use our Arize platform to modernize casework processes, allow staff to work more efficiently in one system, integrate foster parent processes, and empower collaboration with external partners.
The fluctuating and and urgent nature of foster care underscores the need for modern solutions to manage complex casework processes while maintaining high standards of care. Easy-to-use tools that reduce burdens on caseworkers are essential for delivering the comprehensive, timely, and collaborative care that foster children and their families need to thrive.
Increase Efficiency to Focus on Families
Foster care organizations want to allow staff to work more efficiently so they can focus on providing better healing and hope to children and families. Arize uses the latest technology to support foster care workflows, allowing providers to tailor the system to meet their specific needs, keep up with constant changes, and modernize casework processes.
Minimize Duplicate Data Entry
Double or triple keying the same information in multiple systems for onboarding, managing parents/homes, case management, billing, and state-required data entry is a challenge for many foster care providers.
Arize helps ease these burdens, offering highly configurable technology that:
- Supports foster care workflows and reduces keystrokes.
- Presents information in the most helpful way for each type of user and individual with easily tailored dashboards and data selections.
- Makes data available everywhere it’s needed when it’s entered into the system.
Consolidated Data Supports Business Growth
Although many leaders don’t realize it in the moment, challenges with data entry directly impact an organization’s bottom line. Leadership needs to run the business effectively, which requires being able to see everything in one system.
Consolidated reporting and analytics in Arize help providers:
- Enhance outcomes with comprehensive data.
- Make smarter spending decisions with better visibility into operations.
- Improve revenue flow with less mistakes.
- Avoid costly compliance and liability issues with proactive prevention tools.
- Position the organization to expand service lines.
Communication and Coordination
Foster care providers need to collaborate with families, guardians, homes, court systems, agencies, and many other external providers and stakeholders. All these entities need access to similar data, which isn’t often accessible in other EHRs.
Arize takes a different approach, integrating client and stakeholder engagement tools into the EHR so foster care providers can:
- Communicate securely between case managers, providers, and directly with foster parents.
- Allow parents, homes, guardians, court system representatives, and other external
providers to access needed information. - Easily share documents and complete forms in real time.
