The goal of social workers is to support their local communities. However, given the incredibly rapid requirements in all areas of their work, from case management, collaboration with stakeholders, to the procedure of client data intake, social workers must take into consideration new procedures, processes, and innovative approaches to the system.

Check out the best practices that social workers can employ to advance their initiatives and impact by utilizing data, encouraging client collaboration, and maximizing outcomes for individuals and communities.

Encourage others to bring about change

Human service caseworkers are better able to assist individuals in bringing about change that enhances lives, builds communities, and promotes a prosperous future when they have complete case data and records that represent the whole person.

For instance, securing housing for the homeless is associated with better health outcomes, and helping students' mental health boosts educational standards, demonstrating that just as several adverse events can have unforeseen effects on people's well-being, addressing these issues can counter the downward trend.

Collaborate to have a bigger impact 

Social workers understand the value of working together to achieve goals. Collaborative case management software, which also increases the influence of social workers, enables these positive relationships.
When they have the technical means (like collaborative initiative) to onboard people through one strategy, the social worker community may channel referrals from various sources, rerouting them to suitable organizations and teams to optimize the effect.

For instance, Global Vision Technologies has established a cooperative relationship with a group of experts in the juvenile justice field to guarantee that the social workers get the juvenile justice data management software they need. The social workers can provide better services to the juvenile justice population in residential care and community-based settings thanks to the case management platform they helped to develop.

The approximately 700,000 human service case workers are now under more pressure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which presents an opportunity to update procedures and policies to better suit the circumstance. In the end, their success is determined by their excellent training and abilities, but cooperation and data management may also aid in their progress.

The time is now to provide social workers with the tools they need to collaborate with clients to improve outcomes for both individuals and communities, along with their community, agency, and educational partners.
