Solving the Child Welfare Data Sharing Problem

The Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS) or Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information Systems (SACWIS) contain a wealth of data, but it doesn't tell the whole story. Valuable data may also reside in other systems such as SNAP, TANF, Medicaid, or Child Support. The ability to quickly have a holistic view of a Person, Case & Service history, or other external factors, leads to better decisions and better outcomes. A data first strategy can help agencies leverage a variety of data sources across programs and external entities to equip case workers in making the right decisions. The spirit of CCWIS was founded on quality data for sharing to inform best case practice.
