We speak to clients every day.  We often get questions asked around the difference between "configuration" and "customization".  I wanted to help set the FAMCare record straight and share how the FAMCare platform answers this question.

When looking for case management software, an agency should consider a number of factors. You want to find the ideal partner who can assist you in optimizing your case management while making the greatest impact on your performance and client outcomes.

Let's look at the Must-Have Features that your agency will benefit from when selecting case management software.

The history of the social work profession is the remarkable story of caring people responding to the evolving needs of societies marginalized. Since the first social work class was offered in the summer of 1898 at Columbia University, social workers have led the way developing private and charitable organizations to serve people in need.

The significance of non-profit's efforts in the lives of so many people cannot be overstated. People from different cultural and social backgrounds take advantage of such non-profit organization services in completely diverse ways.

However, how does case management software help society? We respond by examining the significance of human services software in relation to the nonprofit organizations that choose to use this specialized software.

NGOs will do for social change what most organizations will not.

Non-governmental (nonprofit) organizations make significant contributions to society in terms of structural and economic change. There are approximately 1.5 million of them in the country, and the majority of them address serious social issues. Nonprofits must operate efficiently because of the nature of their business. Inefficient workflows can jeopardize an NGO's ability to meet operational objectives.

Here are some ideas for increasing nonprofit workflow efficiency.

While each implementation can be different and have their own nuances, we have a template we follow for each of our implementations regardless of the size of the organization or the type of services they offer to their clients.

A non-profit project is a rewarding idea. Whatever path you choose for your non-profit, you will be giving back to the community in some way, which can be a very rewarding experience.

But, as heartwarming as it is, running a non-profit is no easy task. It takes a lot of strategic planning, resources, and a lot of resilience to develop an initial idea and expand on it, especially when you're on a non-profit. Given the early challenges, investing in non-profit software to streamline some of your work early on will help you stay on track until much later.

In 1998, a consortium of child welfare agencies in Missouri were researching the market for web based, social services case management software.  When their search turned up empty...they hired a firm to create it for them.  A few months later in the spring of 1998, FAMCare was born. 

FAMCare is a leader for agencies who want to improve how they manage their data and outcomes for our society's most vulnerable.  FAMCare is a social services software system that includes best practice data collection forms and workflow designed to optimize how a caseworker works with their clients each day.
