The ultimate goal of multidisciplinary teams is to use their range of skills and to share information in order to help clients and their families. Cúram provides multidisciplinary team members with tools to help them achieve this goal. Social enterprise folders are the central hub for sharing information and exchanging ideas. Within all types of social enterprise folders are tools to help multidisciplinary teams communicate effectively with each other and collaborate their efforts to help families. The following table provides a summary of the business functionality in social enterprise folders which multidisciplinary teams can use in their collaboration efforts:
| 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. |
| Scheduling meetings | To address the needs of children and their families, meetings can be scheduled by any 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. |
| 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 the minutes with a related case. These meeting minutes can be automatically issued to meeting attendees, declining invitees, and other interested persons via email. |
| Reporting incidents | Incident reporting is necessary to facilitate prevention, ensuring that potential indicators concerning a family's history are tracked in order to avoid more serious situations. Failure to report an incident, for example of child abuse, could result in a second incident of child abuse and delay the family intervention and referral of the child to child services. |
