County Social Services launch NC Fast system The Cleveland County Department of Social Serv- ices is in the process of launching a new way to pro- vide services to Cleveland County residents. NC FAST, which stands for North Carolina Families Accessing Services through Technology, is a statewide, global case management system that will eventually be utilized in all 100 county DSS agencies. Its purpose is to provide new technological tools that will improve oper- ations for the state and county DSS offices. This comprehensive case man- agement system will replace 19 outdated legacy systems that have been in operation since the early 1980s. Whereas the old systems op- erated as information silos, the new NC FAST system will integrate information for all service programs, creat- ing a global case manage- ment system. The new NC FAST sys- tem is being implemented in stages, with the Food and Nutrition Services being the first program activated. All local Food and Nutrition Services staff have com- pleted the first wave of train- ing and began serving new applicants using the new sys- tem Oct. 15. “The Food and Nutrition staff has done a great job to prepare for this new way of doing business. It is a big challenge, but we are ready and excited to launch this new system," said LeSandra Pearson. The vision is to provide a more effective service deliv- ery system that will benefit both caseworkers and clients. Once all implemen- tation stages are complete, this system will be in opera- tion for other programs as well, such as Medicaid, Work First Family Assis- tance, Child Welfare Serv- ices, Low Income Energy Assistance, Crisis Interven- tion Program, and Aging and Adult Services. “As you can see, the ENS department’s conversion is the first giant step towards a new system that will have a major impact on our agency’s business operations and service delivery sys- tems.” As with any major im- provement, there will be an extensive transition stage in- volving training for staff and conversion of old cases into the new system. “We will be a little slower initially, so we do ask every- one to be patient. However, the long term rewards will benefit everyone," said Pear- son. For example, persons in- terested in applying for Food and Nutrition Services will soon be able to submit an electronic application online through a web site. Cur- rently, people can access this web site to answer questions and receive feedback regard- ing potential eligibility. It is no longer necessary for peo- ple to visit the office in per- son. Anyone will be able to apply from any internet con- nection. We hope this will be a useful option for persons who don’t have transporta- tion or who work during nor- mal business hours. Once the ePass web site is in full pro- duction, clients will submit 303 Phifer Rd. | Kings Mountain (704) 739-CLAY (2529) We believe that you shouldn't have to spend a lot to get the very best in funeral service. At Clay-Barnette Funeral Home, you will see a savings of hundreds, even thousands of dollars compared to the others. OF KINGS MOUNTAIN » © adfinity their applications electroni- cally.
