"Ohio Completes Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System"

From the blog: "The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services announced yesterday that it has completed a "Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System," also known by the acronym SACWIS. This web-based system will be used by all of Ohio's child welfare workers to determine eligibility, conduct case management, and administer adoption, foster care and child protection services. Interestingly, Cuyahoga County was the last county to connect to the network that began with Muskingum County in August of 2006. The system, which is the first of its kind in the nation, will be available 24x7 and will connect all of Ohio's child welfare agencies with agencies in 26 other states that are already using the system."
