Hear One Provider’s Journey To Improve Child Welfare Outcomes With Predictive Analytics In Upcoming Webinar For Members Of The OPEN MINDS Next Generation Forum On Children’s Services
Join this members-only web briefing on January 18 at 2:00pm ET to hear Heartland for Children’s learning journey, challenges faced, & future forecast for implementing predictive analytics into child welfare
Gettysburg, Pa. (January 15, 2017) — Recently, the use of analytics has been expanding throughout the health and human services industry. Organizations are adopting analytics with the goal of gaining knowledge that can be used to make better organizational decisions and improve consumer outcomes. Analytics often involve studying past historical data to research potential trends, to analyze the effects of certain decisions or events, or to evaluate the performance of a given tactic or situation.
The use of predictive analytics has been growing in our health and human services field. Software companies have been developing programs that are now being used to predict and identify children at high risk of severe abuse and to reduce child fatalities. Data driven placement assistance for children in foster care can now be purchased to reduce length of stay and likelihood of disruption.
The question of whether child welfare agencies should apply a statistical discipline has sparked a widespread debate. But despite the understandable fears that come with applying an algorithm to the human questions of family or child behavior, evidence is showing that use of predictive analytics is growing and gaining support even within our federal government.
Join OPEN MINDS, Heartland for Children, and Mindshare Technology on January 18, 2017 at 2:00pm ET for this members-only executive web briefing. This case study web briefing will showcase Heartland for Children’s journey to implement predictive analytics to improve outcomes for children in Florida, as well as the challenges faced and forecast for the immediate and long-term future.

- Learn how data is being used to predict behavior and reduce risk in the health and human service industry
- Discover predictive software currently available for child welfare providers
- Understand how government is supporting the use of technology to assist in achieving better outcomes
