(With Video!)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/fun-with-data-management-0-0) #### Posted by [Lisa Sayler](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/author/lisa-sayler) on 2/7/18 7:58 AM [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://www.correcttech.com/hubfs/Blog_Images/Data%20Management%20IS%20Fun.jpg) ](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/fun-with-data-management-0-0) **Fun with Data Management…. Really?** How many of you community corrections practitioners dread pulling together month end, quarter end or worse…year end program results?** ** **** So, you are wondering why I would include “fun” in the same sentence as data management.  What’s more surprising is it’s me who is having fun with data management.  I am not a big data person.  Research, spreadsheets, data analysis, not my cup of tea. Include me in on a problem solving, “what works” or implementation discussion and I’ll let someone else do all the research.  However, you’d be surprised how much better data can be when you don’t have to do any data entry to view basic and complex data analysis for your community corrections program operations.   **Check out an example of just one way we make data fun in our newest data management video “Fun with Data Management - Monitor History”. ** [Read More](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/fun-with-data-management-0-0) Topics: [Community Corrections](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/community-corrections), [Evidence Based Practices](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/evidence-based-practices), [Community Corrections Professional](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/community-corrections-professional), [Technology](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/technology), [Software](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/software), [ICCA](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/icca), [Monitor History](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/monitor-history), [Data Management](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/data-management), [Program Data](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/program-data), [program results](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/program-results) # [One Size Doesn't Fit All](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/one-size-community-corrections-doesnt-fit-all) #### Posted by [Eric Tumperi](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/author/eric-tumperi) on 12/1/16 12:36 PM [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://www.correcttech.com/hubfs/CT-info-sharing.jpg) ](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/one-size-community-corrections-doesnt-fit-all) **** **Get Them out of Prison Beds and into Reetry ** When our CorrectTech team meets with community corrections agencies across the country, we see an increasing number of criminal justice stakeholders looking at the efficiency and effectiveness of community corrections. With the movement of all-but-the-highest-risk offenders away from prison beds, community corrections programs are receiving more clients and focus and, therefore, higher expectations. There is an international effort to integrate a wide range of programming, interventions, education, and treatment. Gone are the days of “one size fits all” interventions. Case plans must be specific and individualized, all while demonstrating fidelity to evidence based practices (EBP) and state and federal mandates. **More than Cookie Cutter Treatment** While there are many exceptional automation systems centered on courts and jail processes, traditional case management systems (CMS) were not conceptualized with this type of client-centered treatment or EBP implementation and tracking. Historically, community corrections has been under-utilized and underfunded.

Dr. Crist is leading a shift in culture and organizational change by educating his staff members using TTC’s own data to help equip them on this mission. I attend these meetings and am happy to be included in this exciting culture change! My goal, as CorrectTech’s customer development specialist, is to reinforce TTC’s goals for using agency data to drive decision-making in my individual community corrections staff coachings and group trainings. I am thrilled to see the data management system in CorrectTech’s case management software being put to use in this exciting journey! A case manager supervisor was recently assigned two projects that incorporate collecting data out of CorrectTech. **Assignment 1:** What are the success rates for clients with a specific drug of choice?

Software is changing the way we practice community corrections and we are making progress daily in our efforts to make our data systems more functional, practically and clinically. (See [*Is Software the Key to EBP –Part I*](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/is-software-the-key-to-ebp) to see how.) Practically, it is now possible to have a fully paperless and EBP-influenced information system that has the ability to integrate facility security functions with overall case management, treatment, programming, accountability, supervision, and outcome measures. Clinically, treatment providers and researchers are working together in unique ways to actually implement EBP rather than just talk about it. Technologically, advances in software performance and flexibility have resulted in the ability to quickly integrate new practical and clinical innovations into community corrections information systems. The EBP and “what works” movements were born out of data at a time when few community corrections programs had sophisticated information systems. The research data gathering was painstaking and resulted in limited visibility. For EBP to fulfill its promise to impact the lives of both the practitioner and the client, it is time for integrated and intelligent systems to provide the next generation of “EBP Data” that comes to us daily, weekly and monthly from our own IT systems. **** [Read More](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/is-software-the-key-to-ebp-part-ii) Topics: [Evidence Based Practices](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/evidence-based-practices), [Software](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/software) [Previous](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/software/page/1) [All posts](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/all) [Next](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/software/page/3) [![Download Wall Chart!](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/393518/8ff2b73d-1767-4b27-8985-450f9d8f9415.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/393518/8ff2b73d-1767-4b27-8985-450f9d8f9415) ### Subscribe To Our Blog ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic - [Community Corrections (63)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/community-corrections) - [Evidence Based Practices (44)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/evidence-based-practices) - [Community Corrections Professional (23)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/community-corrections-professional) - [Software (15)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/software) - [Practices (12)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/practices) - [Change (11)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/change) - [Technology (10)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/technology) - [Risk Principle (8)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/risk-principle) - [reentry (8)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/reentry) - [probation staff (7)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/probation-staff) - [EBP (6)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/ebp) - [Outcomes (6)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/outcomes) - [client development (6)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/client-development) - [client needs and values (6)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/client-needs-and-values) - [coaching community corrections clients (6)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/coaching-community-corrections-clients) - [Assessment (5)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/assessment) - [Community (5)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/community) - [Developing a practice model (5)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/developing-a-practice-model) - [Justice-Involved Clients (5)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/justice-involved-clients) - [Remote work (5)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/remote-work) - [The Coaching Habit (5)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/the-coaching-habit) - [parole (5)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/parole) - [risk (5)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/risk) - [tele-supervision (5)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/tele-supervision) - [tele-work (5)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/tele-work) - [Community Engagement (4)](https://www.correcttech.com/blog/topic/community-engagement) - [Evan C.
