Tools That Support Collaboration

The following table provides a summary of the business functionality that enables effective collaboration between case workers, multidisciplinary team members and clients. Caseworkers have access to these functions from an outcome plan, multidisciplinary team members have access to these functions from the Multidisciplinary Team Portal. For more information the Multidisciplinary Team Portal Guide.

Business Functionality Summary
Discussion boards Multidisciplinary team members can use discussion boards to share advice and important information. These discussion boards can be configured to email multidisciplinary team members when discussions are posted and comments added making it as easy as possible for team members to be informed and have the opportunity to participate in a discussion. Note: Discussions are only available within an outcome plan when a multidisciplinary team is assigned to it. For more information on discussion boards see the Cúram Social Enterprise Collaboration Guide.
Scheduling meetings To address the needs of children and their families, meetings can be scheduled by a multidisciplinary team member or agency worker. PIM integration allows meeting invites to be accepted in their personal calendars, for example in Microsoft® Outlook, making it easier to coordinate meetings. For more information on scheduling meetings see the Cúram Calendaring Guide.
Recording meeting minutes The record meeting minutes wizard provides functionality for recording general meeting details, adding meeting notes, listing meeting decisions, marking attendees, outlining actions, attaching files, and associating cases that were discussed. These meeting minutes can be automatically issued to meeting attendees, declining invitees, and other interested persons via email. For more information on meeting minutes see the Cúram Integrated Case Management Guide.
