Vernon County is seeking information and proposals to build or purchase and implement a client-based Client Information Management System. The primary goal is to develop and implement an Electronic Case Management System for data entry, case management, documentation, and data tracking of consumer services within the Department of Human Services and Public Health Department. Currently the Departments utilize service specific Electronic Information Management Systems, primarily State Information Systems and a Financial System with contracted technical support and updates. The County IT Department provides on-site assistance with hardware and county-owned systems. At present, there are approximately 200 individual consumer files from Human Services that would be entered into the new system. The number of Public Health individual files will vary from 500-1000 per year. Currently there are approximately 12 professional staff that provide direct case management, record information, and maintain consumer files. The number of users authorized to access a new system may grow to 18-20, most of whom will be professional staff providing direct service, clerical or financial support staff.
