Before, you know, if a worker was out, you
were searching through filing cabinets or
their desk drawers, looking for a record or
a piece of paper, and now it's in the system,
and we don't have to do that, so it saves
a lot of time.

I was a little, I'll be honest with you, I
was a little iffy about how my elderly clients
would handle the tablet, but they took to
it great.

So the case decision can be quicker, if that
is the case, they did something really horrible,
but just normal day to day cases, I think
the social workers, the benefit for the social workers,
well I've gone and lived this horrible,
whatever it was, situation, and I'm done because
it will take you back to your feet, you know
get back to the agency, the documentation
is done, the pictures are taken, everything
is already filed,
[Music]
so I don't have to re-live this again, and document this again in another
hour.

Especially with the APS cases, if you go into
a home, and the home is disgusting and there's
maggots, and say it's just hard to explain
to your supervisor exactly the total nastiness
that you just experienced, then you can show
it to them on the camera.
It has definitely saved me a lot of time.
It's kept me up to date on my documentation,
where as before I was behind.
Actually, our whole unit was behind until
we implemented Northwoods, and now I believe
we're all up to date.
[Music]
If, to me, the benefit would be that if it
was implemented state-wide, then all of
us would be on the same page.
We would all know exactly how the system worked,
then the state would have to conform to exactly how the system works.
