Calgary HMIS Agency Assessment |
Calgary Homelessness Management Information System Agency Assessment
| 1 / 7 |
Introduction:
Thank you for participating in the Calgary Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Agency Assessment. A HMIS is a locally administered, electronic data collection system that stores longitudinal person and service level information about persons who access the homeless serving system. The assessment results will be used to inform how the HMIS implementation can support your needs and to ensure the resources needed for successful operations are available. In addition, this information will be used in the development of an HMIS implementation Plan.
Participation in this assessment is one of the ways your agency can take an active role in shaping the HMIS in Calgary. There are several other ways you can be involved in this process; if you’re interested please contact Alina Tanasescu at alina@calgaryhomeless.com.
The assessment consists of four key areas identified as components of a successful HMIS implementation:
1. Agency Composition,
2. Agency Management,
3. Data Collection and Usage, and
4. Technology Status.
In each of these areas the HMIS is either dependent on the element, or the HMIS significantly adds to the agency’s capacity. There are no wrong answers so please respond accurately so that we may best match your needs to the development and implementation of HMIS. Accurate responses will ultimately help your agency utilize the HMIS to support your understanding of the scope and nature of homelessness and how your agency is helping to end homelessness.
If you have questions at any point please do not hesitate to contact us at (504) 427-6526, fran@davidcanavan.com. The instructions below will assist you in accurately participating.
Instructions:
1. The assessment is to be completed by the agency leadership and agency information technology staff (if available) and is not intended to be completed by individual program directors or staff.
2. Many questions are in check-box format, so although this may appear lengthy, once you begin you should move through it fairly quickly.
3. You can keep track of how much you have completed by looking at the “completion bar” at the bottom of the screen.
4. Please read each question and response option carefully, paying particular attention to the highlighted words of AND, ALL, IF, SPECIFIC, CONSISTENTLY, DO NOT…
5. Please select all responses that apply. If none are true for your agency, please select only the response "none apply" and move on to the next question.
6. Upon completion, or just prior to submitting the completed survey, you can print all or part of the document for your files if you wish.
7. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at: (504) 427-6526, fran@davidcanavan.com.
