What CAMS is
CAMS is a cloud-based case administration and management system for community and social services agencies. It follows cases from referral and intake through assessment, goal setting, progress reporting, discharge, and follow-up. Workers can plan and manage cases, track time, and prepare case reports. Agencies can track waitlists, program participation, outcomes, and milestones across programs.
Its reporting dashboards produce annual statistics, incident summaries, and service summaries for funders, stakeholders, and accreditors. The browser interface supports access from multiple worksites at once, with user levels and an access control list controlling file access. CAMS supports compliance with CARF and Council on Accreditation standards.
Agencies own their data, which the maker says will be returned if they stop using CAMS. Data is stored and backed up in Canada, with incremental backups every 15 minutes and a full backup nightly. Security measures include two password-protected login mechanisms, uniquely identified user accounts, and 2048-bit SSL certificates for internet transfers. CAMS is owned by PLEA Community Services and John Howard Society North Island, and the maker says it provides training, support, and help-desk services.
