What we offer

Changing the world through data

Dashboards

Functioning as a comprehensive client and case management system, empowOR is crafted to streamline essential daily operations. Agency administrators have the ability to customize the home dashboard, choosing which widgets to display and arranging them according to their preferences.

Referrals
referrals-monitor

There are three ways of doing referrals within empowOR: presumptive eligibility, manual, or broad category.

  • Presumptive Eligibility - “flag” people as being presumptively eligible for a program and track referrals sent.
  • Manual - manually select which internal staff or external agency to refer a household to.
  • Broad Category - send a Medical Referral or a Housing Referral.
Services & Outcomes

Local administrators are able to customize programs by specifying service items, outcomes, and enrollment criteria. empowOR supports outcome recording at various data entry levels, which is crucial for data collection and reporting. This flexibility allows agencies to capture program-specific data in line with agency and funder requirements.

Assessments
assessments-monitor

Assessments are sets of questions about a client’s current situation that are likely to change over time and are intended to be repeated at intervals. Agencies can create their own unique assessments and email clients a link to complete the assessment without coming into the agency location.

Funding Sources

Administrators have the ability to input any grant funding source and its corresponding amount into empowOR. Staff can then link services directly to those funding sources to maintain a continuously updated balance.

Plans
plans-monitor

empowOR’s Plans form provides a unique tool for case management. Efforts can be tracked using an Individual Client/Household Plan, where the staff member and client/household work together to create a customized set of goals and action steps towards each goal.

What our clients say

Testimonials

Client inquiry and the ability to send requests for documents have reduced the time that our Case Managers spend doing intake by 50%.

Before empowOR, La Puente's Crisis Prevention arm was taking up to 2 weeks to process an application. These days, we can process applications in 1 business day! empowOR was a game changer.

The capacity for reporting is far beyond any system we have seen.

Betsy Andrews Parker

Community Action Partnership of Strafford County, NH

We can case note what is going on with someone, read the notes, and pick back up where someone else left off. That wasn't the case when we were in many different systems.
