Nicole Tecco Reece of Casebook PBC believes the most critical challenge to solve in implementing FFPSA both programmatically and technically is to strengthen the accuracy, timeliness and usability of provider data:
“FFPSA is a great acknowledgment of years of work by the Annie E Casey Foundation, Casey Family Programs and many others, proving that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In our experience, states most need a secure software solution to manage providers and gain insights into their performance. This will enable them to identify communities that are under-served and target recruitment. Accessible, easy to use systems will provide a data foundation to automate matching of the most effective preventative care based upon family needs, geography and provider outcomes. Extending portal access to providers will speed up application time and create a real-time communication channel for caseworkers, provider teams, parents and other stakeholders.”
Teresa Lewis of Accenture highlights the act as a shift from reactive to proactive care, highlighting the need for integrated family data:
“The Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) offers the framework to shift child welfare from a reactive to proactive system and underscores the important role of integrated family data. If we get it right, we’ll transition child welfare from a program that introduces interventions late in the game to one that acts quickly to avert disaster for vulnerable families. It is serendipitous that the FFPSA is coinciding with the new Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS) specifications, as both policy changes will rely on data to drive insights. As agencies plot a path forward for CCWIS, they should consider data-driven solutions that provide broad information about the families being served, visualize data that leaps off the page, and enables decision-makers to act quickly and with confidence to drive wildly different outcomes for children and families involved in child welfare programs.”
Sponsorships Over Mentorships
More women than men have been assigned mentors, but it’s still men who get the promotions, said Krautbauer. The industry needs to pivot to sponsorships over mentorships, where women can take others under their wings professionally and help them continue their careers. “We need to start talking less about mentorship and more about sponsorships,” Krautbauer said. “Look around in your community and your business. Look for a rising star who you can help bring along.”
