What are
Assessments?
Accurately assessing clients and
their needs is a core skill for social
workers and a central and
recurring activity in their daily
work. Assessments provide a
structured and consistent way for
social workers to evaluate clients
and their needs and to
collaborate with other
professionals. Determinations
made through assessments form
the foundation for setting goals
and determining whether
interventions are required. Some
professionals regard assessments
as the essence of social work
intervention.
----------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Problem
Today most social worker
assessments and forms are
completed on paper, a costly and
outmoded technology. When you
consider that assessments often
contain important and sensitive
information that is gathered over
long periods of time and needs to
be shared with many stakeholders,
the shortcomings of paper become
self evident. Paper forms are
easily misplaced, subject to
damage, lack security, and are
difficult to store, retrieve, and
share efficiently. More often than
not, information hand written into
a form is later hand keyed into an
information system doubling the
workload and likelihood of errors.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Opportunity
Assessments for Diona Mobile
Visits transforms the
assessments process for social
workers by turning tablets into
smart and integrated assessment
tools that support frontline workers
at the frontline. Mobile
assessments offer a resilient,
secure, and efficient way for social
workers to gather, evaluate,
preserve, and share
important information in a
structured and useful way. Better
yet, they save the social worker
unnecessary trips back to the
office and hours spent entering
data into a computer.
The assessments framework also
features a simple utility which
agencies can use to rapidly and
efficiently create and deploy basic
forms for use with Diona Mobile
Visits. Data collected through the
forms can be stored directly on the
Diona Mobility Server, exported to
agency systems, or generated as
PDF images that can be shared
with clients and other
stakeholders. XML based, the
data collected can be readily
used on its own or integrated with
other systems, and agencies can
choose the level of integration that
suits their needs.
