This outcome-based focus enables caseworkers to map out a holistic Holistic A practice of medicine that focuses on the whole patient, and addresses the social, emotional, and spiritual needs of a patient as well as their physical treatment.

Curam Service Planning is a new application which provides social enterprises with a consistent and comprehensive approach to implement and monitor an outcome-based integrated service delivery. Within the service plan structure, agencies can define goals and sub-goals to facilitate the ultimate program objective. The agency can detail all of the benefits and services needed and monitor progress at each level. This structure empowers the caseworker to adapt each citizen's service plan to meet their evolving needs. New Holistic View of Citizen The Curam Business Application Suite version 4 provides caseworkers with a new holistic view of each citizen through support for accountable and efficient service delivery model. It extends the Curam enterprise approach by providing a range of functionality that empowers the caseworker to focus on the individual and family for all the business processes regardless of program or agency boundaries.

Agencies have traditionally relied on experienced caseworkers, who can make eligibility determinations across a range of programs based on extensive program and system knowledge. Today, organizations are facing a drastic drop in caseworker experience due to high turnover, deep budget and staff cuts, and an aging workforce reaching retirement age. Curam Intelligent Evidence Gathering was specifically designed to meet the needs of today's caseworkers. Understanding the need to reduce training, automate To turn a set of manual steps into an operation that goes by itself. See automation. complex eligibility and entitlement An individual's right to receive a value or benefit provided by law. Commonly recognized entitlements are benefits, such as those provided by Social Security or Workers' Compensation. rules, and simplify client interviews, Curam Intelligent Evidence Gathering provides organizations with a powerful tool to increase caseworker productivity, reduce training time, simplify complex business processes, minimize errors, enable client self-service, and improve service delivery. Reducing Spiraling IT Costs Organizations faced with mandated program changes and updates, aging technology, and reduced knowledge of legacy systems are turning to commercial off-the-shelf Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) is a term for software or hardware, generally technology or computer products, that are ready-made and available for sale, lease, or license to the general public.

In the new release, the Curam Enterprise Framework provides broader functionality and technology required for today's dynamic business needs, while integrating and providing a cohesive cohesive, n the capability to cohere or stick together to form a mass. technology that supports and enables the adoption of future business needs in a quick, efficient manner. The integrated tools and business infrastructure increase developer productivity while decreasing time to production for new application development or integration projects. Integrated Eligibility The ability to deliver services and benefits in a holistic manner with the goal of producing a desired outcome starts with the ability to identify all of the needs quickly and accurately. Today, many organizations have stove-piped eligibility determination for each program resulting in a redundant and complex intake process, high error rates, and inconsistent results. Curam Global Income Support provides eligibility determination for cash assistance, and food programs. In version 4, Curam has added medical assistance and disability determination to the Curam Global Income Support Suite(TM). Curam Global Medical Assistance, based on a survey of U.S. and international government medical assistance and disability programs, delivers eligibility and entitlement services for a wide range of programs that provide medical assistance to individuals, children and families. Along with the common business rules for these programs, evidence is collected and grouped into evidence categories, including household composition, income, resources and expenses. This integrated approach to eligibility determination will reduce operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales , simplify business processes, improve customer service, and reduce error and fraud. In addition to the introduction of Curam Service Planning, Curam Intelligent Evidence Gathering, and Curam Global Medical Assistance, as well as key enhancements to the Curam Enterprise Framework, Curam delivers new capabilities and enhancements in version 4 including: --Curam Workflow - Provides agencies with new dynamic workflow definition and improved task management to guide caseworkers to best practices and enhance productivity levels --Curam Appeals - Increases productivity by providing caseworkers with the ability to handle multiple appeals through an integrated business framework rather than a series of disconnected appeals requests --Curam Reporting - Provides caseworkers with new reporting capabilities to pull information from across the social enterprise to better support analysis and customer service --Curam Global Income Support - Provides important enhancements to the rules library that equip e·quip tr.v. e·quipped, e·quip·ping, e·quips 1. a.
