Program Resources and Outcome Management Information System
Encyclopedia
Program Resources and Outcomes Management Information System (PROMIS) is the first web-based
case management
system for Head Start and other social service
organizations. It has been developed by Cleverex Systems, Inc.
Automation for real-time case tracking eliminates gaps in the service delivery process and reduces redundancy and fragmentation of services. PROMIS provides support for all client-service functions of an agency from "outreach to outcome." Through the use of Internet technologies
and a development approach built on business process re-engineering and extensive user involvement, the PROMIS system improves client service by reducing paperwork, automating policies and procedures
and integrating the delivery system within Head Start agencies.
The PROMIS project effort was funded by the Offices of Head Start, ACF from 2001 through 2003. Although the first beta version
became available for Head Start agencies to use free of charge back in 1999, the first production release was not available until the summer of 2004. Since its first release, PROMIS' user base has been increasing by about 100 new organizations a year.
A large majority of the so called mega agencies (serving 10,000 families or more) have been using the PROMIS system for their daily operation.
