Virtual Case Manager (VCM) System

The VCM is a computer system designed to record and document specific activities and processes that occur in a DHS Family Community Resource Center. The VCM begins at the point of initial contact with a client. Once all the VCM components are in place, the VCM will proceed through the determination of that client's eligibility for all programs and services and continue through the issuance of benefits. The VCM will maintain case information on clients, allow for workers to make changes and document those changes in the client's case record, and automate forms which previously required manual completion.

Visitor Information System (VIS)
