Handel Creates and Deploys a Cultural Module for the Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut

/in , /by

For the last six years the Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut has been working alongside Handel Information Technologies. In 2008 the Mohegan Tribe partnered with Handel by implementing their integrative, flexible software solution, RiteTrack.

The tribe improved their processes by adopting Handel’s RiteTrack as the platform for their Tribal Information Management System (TIMS) which is built around a “hub-and-spoke” model. In 2008 the Mohegan Tribe went live with, the “hub” of TIMS, the member enrollment and demographic module. The tribe found immediate success.

Over the years, Handel has continually assisted the Mohegan Tribe in enhancing their departments and services. Several spokes have been added to Mohegan’s initial hub including: educational services management, household information management, social services management, and many others.

Just recently Handel developed a cultural spoke for the Mohegan Tribe. The tribe’s cultural module will help keep important traditions alive within the tribal community. The Cultural and Community Program Department now has access to instruction and materials for traditional crafts and skills such as basket making, beadwork, and the making of drums and regalia. Through RiteTrack the department is able to coordinate annual festivals and cultural events such as parades and fairs, the annual Wigwam Festival, and Hot Summer Fun at Mohegan Sun. We are excited to create and deliver another reliable module to a loyal and true, American Indian Tribe.

Handel specializes in designing the best possible software solution for American Indian service agencies. RiteTrack is software for tribal, state, and county government. Our company works with tribal nations all over the United States in nearly every tribal department. Handel is an experienced, trustworthy technology company that goes above and beyond in serving American Indian Tribes.

TANF and Enrollment Data Conversion Tools Developed with Tribe’s Help

/in , /by

Converting data from a legacy system to an upgraded solution is often a time-intensive and arduous process.

However, this may change for Tribes searching for a better TANF or enrollment case management solution. Working with the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians, Handel developers have standardized a data conversion tool that converts data from other leading solutions for TANF and enrollment.

This conversion tool identifies data points from legacy systems and imports them for a faster, more accurate data conversion. However, it not only converts data from only specific legacy solutions; it has the potential to convert cross-platform (meaning it can work with many different systems to convert data) as well.

After beginning a partnership in July 2013, implementation of the Soboba solution is currently in progress and the date for the Band to begin using the system to support its data collection for TANF case tracking and reporting and enrollment management begins the first quarter (Q1) of 2014.

The integration of information of these departments will help them better leverage that information and generate meaningful reports and statistics to further support the Tribe in providing client services more efficiently.

This RiteTrack system integrates multiple departments, including enrollment, TANF, family services (with child protective services) and the accounting department for grant tracking purposes. The solution has this capability because it is built on core, essential, shared data points. The database serves as the central hub of information with each department accessing consistent, reliable data on members.

As a sovereign nation, the Soboba Band’s mission is to assist American Indian families and future generations to reach their fullest potential in securing economic stability while encouraging wellness in the family.

Soboba’s Tribal TANF program strives to provide welfare-related services to eligible Native American families who meet all STTP requirements in an equitable and fair method according to customs and traditions.

Soboba’s Family Services Department seeks to ensure services for needy and vulnerable children and adults that aid and protect in ways that strengthen and preserve Native American families, that encourage personal responsibility, and that promote self-sufficiency.

Handel specializes in creating the best possible software solutions for American Indian service agencies. RiteTrack is software for tribal, state and county government. RiteTrack serves tribal nations throughout the country in nearly every tribal department.  With the experience and accountability that Handel offers, RiteTrack is the trusted information solution that tribal social services can rely on.

Minnesota County Secures Path to Improved Data Collection and Reporting Software Solution for Juvenile Facilities

/in , , /by

Ramsey County, Minn. has partnered with Handel Information Technologies to implement a RiteTrack juvenile justice software solution to manage its juvenile detention and residential facilities.

The facilities using the powerful, new solution will be the Juvenile Detention Center and the Boys Totem Town.

“RiteTrack is capable of tracking the required data in a juvenile detention environment but also includes all of the functionality that the County’s residential facility needs for case and treatment planning,” said Dan Merth, Project Manager at Ramsey County Corrections Department.

Handel’s project manager said system planning and development is expected to last six-nine months with a flexible implementation timeframe of early 2015. “RiteTrack is designed well for projects where multiple facilities or departments are looking to merge their information sharing needs into one system. Through our proven track record with system design, data migration, and business and systems analysis even complex projects such as Ramsey County’s are launched and implemented quickly.”

RiteTrack will replace multiple systems; a legacy system which was created in an old programming language for the JDC which is no longer supported and a custom-built solution for the treatment facility.

The Mental Health and Juvenile Justice Collaborative for Change Web site says, “Providers rightfully tend to focus on meeting the needs of youth and families, but may fail to recognize the value of data collection and analysis. …In an environment in which demonstrating outcomes is critical, this oversight might be counterproductive.”

“The new RiteTrack system will generate real-time reports and notifications for case workers, administrators and stakeholders. The data collection and reporting capabilities will give the County high-quality information to produce client outcome information,” said Handel’s President Even Brande.

Ramsey County’s juvenile services provide “a structured and positive environment for the development of responsible youth with assistance from community partnerships and services within [the] County.”

RiteTrack, a Web-based juvenile justice software solution, tracks everything in juvenile diversion, detention, corrections and treatment cases from client demographics to treatment plans. This solution is designed to be the single point-of-entry into juvenile-serving agencies. As a youth enters a system, client information is entered into only one place.

Handel creates RiteTrack, a software solution used by juvenile service programs in state and county governments.
