Compass® CoPilot allows social workers to spend more time with families

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DUBLIN, OH—April 11, 2013—Twenty-five social workers at Beaufort County Department of Social Services (DSS) are virtually carrying their entire offices to home visits using new mobile software from Northwoods.

Beaufort County DSS and Northwoods, a software company specializing in serving human services agencies, announced a partnership to implement mobile software for handheld tablet computers that social workers use to access case files when visiting clients at home.

With Compass CoPilot, child protective services and adult protective services workers can also complete forms, capture supporting documentation, take photos, record audio and input cases notes during home visits. Because social workers are saving time by utilizing Compass CoPilot, they are fully caught up on documentation and can focus more time on the families they serve.

“Northwoods is proud to partner with the social workers at Beaufort County DSS in their mission to protect and strengthen families,” said Gary Heinze, president and CEO, Northwoods.

In addition to using Compass CoPilot in the field, Beaufort County DSS social workers use the full Compass®software suite as its document management solution at the office. Beaufort County DSS is using the software for child welfare, adult services and adoption services.

Northwoods partners with 32 human services agencies in North Carolina.
