/in Tribal Government, Tribal Treatment Services /by Tracey RosenlundIf you were unable to attend our most recent demonstration of the RiteTrack Tribal Treatment Services module, you can register to view a recording here.
If your tribe provides mental health, substance abuse, or similar services, then the Tribal Treatment Services module was developed to manage all aspects of these services you provide.
Based on recognized best practices, RiteTrack offers extensive standard functionality that can still be tailored to each tribal program’s needs. Through the configuration options available in the Treatment Services Module, Handel can provide a solution that incorporates cultural values for mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being into treatment.
During this recording you can see how the module tracks clients’ history, participation in programs, and those outcomes–ensuring comprehensive case management. Specific module functionality that was explored included:
- Admissions
- Treatment Plans
- Progress Notes
- Individual and Group Counseling
- Clinical Information
- Trauma History
- Mental Health History
- Family History
- Substance Abuse
- Lab Tests
The Treatment Services Module can be used by itself as a standalone system or in concert with other RiteTrack modules to integrate programs with Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts, Indian Child Welfare/Family Services, or other departments that closely coordinate their work.

Relationship between RiteTrack and Disproportionate Minority Contact
/in Juvenile Facilities, Juvenile Justice /by Steve KoenigWhen reviewing DMC aspects, in my mind I kept coming back to the issue of how much needs to be encompassed when implementing and maintaining DMC standards into a juvenile justice program. These standards incorporate assessments, evaluation, and monitoring of juveniles in care. However, DMC doesn’t only apply to youth in detention. It really incorporates all areas of youth contact within the juvenile justice continuum of care.
Often DMC communities may have an alternative reporting center within it. I’m curious to see how information is communicated between one part in the juvenile justice continuum of care with another part. There is the potential for an enormous amount of time to be spent creating policies that address information sharing parameters, managing confidential information, and memorandums of understanding between these organizations. Even though data points like race, ethnicity, gender, geography, and offenses seem straightforward, these would likely need to be clearly defined with consensus from members of the continuum of care.
So how can organizations or programs in the juvenile justice continuum of care address information challenges like these? Using a web-based software like RiteTrack as the single-point-of-entry tool provides the framework from which programs can support the youth and the stakeholders.
For a community to address DMC, there has to be involvement from shareholders in the community. There has to be planning and agreement on issues. Organizations must develop intervention that involves programming. Agencies need to evaluate whether the agreed upon plan is working. Finally, programs must be monitored to make sure that identified problems area continued to be addressed. Within all of these steps, the most important area may be the collection of data because youth data is pervasive in all these steps. RiteTrack collects data that occurs throughout all point of the juvenile justice continuum from first point-of-contact, risk assessment, community involvement, and if needed detention. In addition to extensive documentation, RiteTrack quickly generates reports and statistical data based on real-time data that is accurate and reliable. Implementing RiteTrack into operations is not just a procurement or download of another piece of software. It is a partnership with Handel IT to enhance and improve communities, not only by supporting a continuum of care, but also by creating a central point-of-entry to provide the framework to address DMC issues.
