CCWIS - Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System
The Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS) represents a transformative initiative to modernize child welfare technology across Louisiana. As Project Director, I'm leading the replacement of legacy systems with a modern, cloud-based platform that enhances case management, streamlines workflows, and ensures data-driven decision-making for improved child safety and well-being.
This multi-million dollar initiative involves coordinating with federal agencies, state departments, technology vendors, and frontline workers to deliver a system that meets both regulatory requirements and operational needs.
Legacy System Limitations
- • Outdated technology infrastructure
- • Limited data integration capabilities
- • Poor user experience for caseworkers
- • Compliance reporting challenges
Operational Inefficiencies
- • Manual data entry and duplication
- • Fragmented case information
- • Limited mobile access for field workers
- • Inconsistent workflow processes
Cloud-First Approach
Leveraging AWS GovCloud infrastructure to ensure security, scalability, and compliance with federal requirements while providing reliable access for users across the state.
Security & Compliance
Implementing robust security measures and ensuring compliance with federal child welfare regulations, HIPAA, and state data protection requirements.
Operational Improvements
- • 40% reduction in case processing time
- • Improved data accuracy and consistency
- • Enhanced mobile access for field workers
- • Streamlined reporting and analytics
Strategic Benefits
- • Federal compliance achievement
- • Enhanced child safety outcomes
- • Improved stakeholder collaboration
- • Foundation for future innovations
As Project Director, I coordinate multiple workstreams including system design, data migration, user training, and change management. This involves regular collaboration with federal partners, state leadership, technology vendors, and frontline staff to ensure successful implementation.
The project requires balancing technical requirements with operational needs, managing stakeholder expectations, and ensuring minimal disruption to critical child welfare services during the transition.
