Cúram Outcome Management provides caseworkers with a structure that supports assessment and planning processes that are applicable to many human service areas. Cúram Outcome Management applies to child welfare services through-out the continuum of care. For CCS, the Cúram Outcome Management structure provides additional features that relate specifically to child welfare services. Outcome management for child welfare can be configured to fit the agency's practice model and assessment tools. The assessment process guides the case planning process and provides a means for the caseworker to measure progress towards goals and report findings to legal authorities. The assessment and planning process also guides and informs the MDT and helps members gain a better understanding of child and family strengths and needs and appropriate services and activities. Outcome Management is also used to review progress and conduct reassessments according to agency policy. For children in out-of-home placement, visitation plans are an important aspect of outcome planning and are integrated into Cúram Outcome Management.
