RE: Looking for case management software

The Clinical Manager (TCM) is software that was created in Madison Wisconsin at the Mental Health Center of Dane County specifically for staff who are creating treatment plans, providing case management, documenting billable time, creating a “comprehensive clinical record”. Indiana Behavioral Health Choices is the umbrella organization that manages Youth Emergency Services and 6 other projects in Indianapolis, IN. We use TCM to track all of the information necessary for the 6 different projects: ranging from mobile crisis, runaway case management, truant case management, mental health case management, Adult homeless dual diagnosed community based case management and child care intervention. It is quite flexible, easy for staff and little IT support required. For a quick look at TCM via a powerpoint show, look at our website: www.kidwrap.org , Choices button, Announcement board will show some of the screens from TCM and it’s capacity.

If you have further questions, please call or email me.

Here, at Youth Emergency Services, we use The Clinical Manager to track all of our documentation and billing efforts. We also use this software to track, bill and document our case management services. I'm not sure who produces this software. If you are interested and want to know more, feel free to e-mail me back directly at my e-mail address below and I will try to find out more specific information about our software for you. My e-mail address is listed below.

Subject: Looking for case management software

Good afternoon everyone,

As a new member of this listserv, I first would like to thank each of you for the valuable information I have received thus far. You guys have an incredible amount of knowledge/ expertise and I appreciate the opportunity to learn as much as I can.

With this aside, I am currently working on a small research project in locating a good case management software package suitable for case managers working in the fields of child abuse, family self sufficiency, job readiness, family support/preservation services, in-home counseling, etc. The agency I work is a non-profit community based organization that provides home- and center- based child abuse prevention and early intervention services to very low-income families. As the agency continues to grow (both in staffing and array of services), we are in the initial stages of researching case management software that could be useful for our case managers (and administrative staff) and easily integrated within the agency's infrastructure. I've conducted some preliminary research on the net, and thus far the software I've located is heavily concentrated in the area of healthcare manage care.

Do any of you know of good case management software we could further research? In addition, we would like to better understand how case management software could be beneficial to the client, the case manager, and to the agency as a whole.

Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Kathy
