<DIV>I am a doctoral student interested in studies identifying to organizational factors that facilitate the achievement of outcomes (specifically reunification) in child welfare systems. Would you have information on studies or publications that would be helpful?</DIV>

One example would be research being done on Statewide <BR>> Automated Child Welfare Information Systems (SACWIS), which most states <BR>> use to track their child welfare data and programs. There seems to be <BR>> very little being published on how these systems and technology - which <BR>> are changing the face of child welfare and costs billions of dollars - <BR>> are affecting child welfare workers (e.g., their productivity, <BR>> efficiency, effectiveness) and child !

outcomes (e.g., safety of <BR>> children, service delivery). <BR>> <BR>> I'm familiar with the SACWIS-related work done by the Administration for <BR>> Children & Families, the American Public Human Services Association, and <BR>> the National Resource Center for Child Welfare Data and Technology. <BR>> <BR>> If you know of any other links, researchers, contacts, or resources <BR>> related to this topic it would be very helpful. <BR>> <BR>> Thank you! <BR>> <BR>> Kurt Heisler <BR>> <BR>> Kurt Heisler, M.S., M.P.H. <BR>> Ph.D. Candidate, Health Services Research (Health Informatics) <BR>> Instructor, Dept. of Pediatrics <BR>> Division of Child Abuse Pediatrics <BR>> Eastern Virginia Medical School <BR>> 855 West Brambleton Ave. <BR>> Norfolk, VA 23510 <BR>> 757-668-6499 <BR>> 757-668-6475 (fax) <BR>> heislekw@evms.edu <BR>> <BR>> </BLOCKQUOTE>
