Baltimore, MD – Social Solutions, the leading provider of performance management software for human services, and the Association of Jewish Family & Children’s Agencies (AJFCA) announced an initiative today to make Social Solutions’ Efforts to Outcomes (ETO™) software more easily available to the AJFCA’s 130 affiliate organizations. The initiative will help additional AJFCA organizations to adopt and use ETO software, so that they can more effectively measure their efforts and outcomes, and improve their impact on the communities that they serve.“
This initiative encourages our member organizations to explore and more cost effectively purchase ETO software”, said Lee Sherman, President and CEO of the AJFCA. “From my personal experience in working with ETO software, there are many benefits. First and foremost, organizations that adapt outcome measurement practices and software tend to have greater impact on the communities that they serve. Second, the demonstrated impact in the community tends to lead to greater adoption of that organization’s practices, and higher levels of funding.”
Five AJFCA affiliates use ETO software today, along with thousands of other well known human service organizations such as the Boys and Girls Clubs, the Harlem Children’s Zone®, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the United Way, and many more. ETO software is the foundation for collaborative social service efforts in Boulder County, and the cities of Hartford, Boston, and Springfield. ETO software is also being considered for many early childhood, promise neighborhood, choice neighborhood, and American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) initiatives.
Organizations select ETO software because it supports a wide range of programs and very effectively shows the impact of each. It addresses collaborative social service efforts through powerful assessment tools, cross agency referrals, and sharing of non-confidential or de-identified case information. ETO software also provides automated billing and reimbursement capabilities for Medicare, Medicaid, and private organizations, as well as automated compliance and reporting capabilities.
“For the thousands of non-profit, private, and government organizations that use our software, there are significant benefits, including increased collaboration and impact, increased funding, and decreased time spent on compliance and reporting,” says Matt Schubert, CEO of Social Solutions. “We look forward to having additional AJFCA organizations join this group as they adopt ETO software and begin to track and demonstrate their effectiveness at a far greater level.”
