SafeMeasures is a secure, web-based data monitoring and reporting service that transforms an agency’s case management data into valuable information that staff can act on.
Evident Change created the SafeMeasures service to help professionals working in our social systems use their data to achieve the greatest impact. Numerous agencies have improved their performance through use of SafeMeasures’ key performance indicators, process and outcome measures, data quality reports, and reminders.
How does SafeMeasures work?
SafeMeasures uses a nightly feed of agency case management data, uploaded to Evident Change’s systems via a secure, automated process. Data are processed using our highly tuned, state-of-the-art analytical system and integrated into the SafeMeasures data warehouse. Users then log into SafeMeasures to view dashboards, maps, KPIs, lists, and graphs that can be customized to best fit their needs.
No other reporting tool can offer everything that SafeMeasures provides for one flat fee. With SafeMeasures, agencies can trust that:
- They are receiving the most robust reporting service available at a low cost.
- Their SafeMeasures will be customized to best meet the agency’s reporting needs.
- Their workers, supervisors, and management will have up-to-date, concise case information that best supports their work.
- Their workers, supervisors, and management are using a system designed for social workers—no technical or database knowledge required.
- Evident Change will remain committed to helping agencies better serve children and families.
How does SafeMeasures improve outcomes?
A key difference between SafeMeasures and other business intelligence (BI) tools is Evident Change’s comprehensive focus on improving outcomes for children and families. By giving everyone in an agency access to timely, actionable information, SafeMeasures offers a three-pronged approach to improvement.
- Practice and outcomes may be monitored to provide accountability at all levels of the agency
- Workers and supervisors can use SafeMeasures to identify and correct issues before they become problems that negatively impact outcomes
- SafeMeasures provides dedicated tools that staff can use to prioritize work and meet deadlines.
Are my data secure?
Data security is and has always been our top priority. Your data is protected in multiple ways, whether en route to our servers, in our data warehouse, or in the SafeMeasures display system.
What does SafeMeasures cost?
Evident Change is a nonprofit organization, and SafeMeasures reflects a simple, comprehensive, nonprofit approach to pricing: a one-price subscription that covers all components of the SafeMeasures service. Cost is calculated by agency size, and there are no hidden license fees or charges.
A SafeMeasures subscription grants access to all agency staff. It also provides you with unlimited access to Evident Change’s acclaimed analysis and support staff, who handle the heavy lifting of data manipulation, hardware maintenance, help desk support, and more. This frees up your agency analysts and support staff—or dollars that would be spent to hire them—for other tasks.
Expert Support
SafeMeasures is supported by expert staff with experience in application development, client relations, human services engagement, database administration, and data analytics.
Software as a Service
Evident Change developed SafeMeasures to fill a need in the child welfare field for a practice-driven analytics service model. In the field, the name “SafeMeasures” is associated with both a product (easily accessible, timely, relevant data reports across all levels of the organization) and a service (strong, continuous customer engagement; regular core team meetings facilitated by child welfare subject-matter experts; iterative report development and refinement).
Subscribing agencies access their SafeMeasures service through a web browser, with the underlying infrastructure, including data security and access, managed by Evident Change. Subscribing agencies manage their user population, with the number of users having no impact on the subscription cost. These characteristics establish SafeMeasures as Software as a Service (SaaS).
