Integrated Case Management System (ICMS)

ICMS Overview

Integrated caseload management is the accurate classification of offenders with the ability of applying agency and treatment resources. Caseload management allows for high risk offenders to be supervised appropriately, while matching treatment resources to the severity of offender problems. This enables agencies to match or equate problem severity with treatment intensity. In other words, probation departments can better meet client (offender/probationer) needs, while concurrently managing staff and budgetary resources.

Designed specifically for probation departments by David Wegner, a retired probation officer and administrator, the Integrated Case Management System (ICMS) is a state-of-the-art, full-featured caseload tracking and information management system. ICMS is a web-based solution supporting data integrity that simplifies and assists in the coordination of caseload/workload management. The ICMS also assists in coordinating case planning, as well as, case management. Incorporated within this ICMS are modules, which provide criminal justice professionals the necessary tools to manage and supervise adult offenders.

*** The ICMS can be modified to fit individual state or department probation requirements. ***

ICMS includes the following functions:

  • Accurately assesses offender risk and needs
  • Helps in the development of service plans
  • Matches problem severity (when present) with equivalent treatment intensity
  • Monitors probationer progress
  • Serves as an even-handed or rational offender advocate

ICMS manages the following:

Offender intake

Assessment/Classification

Documented referrals

Court data

Warrants

Probation violations

Victim contact & restitution

Officer alerts

Discharge planning

"I really like the system and it was a pleasure testing it. It functions so well for the probation officer and their administrator." - Tara Price

"I really liked it and I especially liked the Dashboard with all its functions such as Officer Alerts, etc. The system was well organized and user friendly. I also like the visuals which support case planning and caseload management." - Ross Tomjack

"Great Job! Thank you for your high quality work in preparing the ICMS. It will be invaluable as the only tool probation officers will need to effectively manage their workload. As a tool for probation administrators, the ICMS is a game changer." - Karen Wegner

Used in conjunction with an Online Testing assessment account, ICMS becomes a valuable case management tool with assessment and classification capabilities. These functions coupled with the system's ability to generate meaningful reports assist probation departments by using evidence-based principles and standards.

Case Planning/Caseload Management

The ICMS provides a Case Planning module. Case Planning refers to the accurate assessment and classification of offenders, with the ability to apply suitable agency and treatment resources. Case planning ensures high risk offenders are supervised appropriately while matching treatment resources to the intensity of their problem. Conversely, low risk offenders will not be over-supervised. This enables the department to appropriately manage staff and budgetary resources.

A Case Management module is provided which supports standardized levels of intervention. This allows for a seamless continuum of services while applying appropriate levels of supervision. The ICMS supplies a module which meets these standards and assists the agency with their goal of reducing recidivism.

ICMS IS FREE TO PROBATION DEPARTMENTS THAT USE BDS TESTS

The Integrated Case Management System (ICMS) is available free (or at no cost) to Probation Departments that use Behavior Data Systems (BDS) tests. To qualify, the department needs to administer a minimum of twelve (12) or more BDS tests each month (after initial setup). This minimum can involve the same BDS test or different BDS tests. BDS tests cost $9.95 each. Each BDS test has its own website and these websites are listed at www.Tests-Websites.com.

ICMS IS AVAILABLE AT A NOMINAL MONTHLY FEE TO PROBATION DEPARTMENTS THAT DO NOT USE BDS TESTS

The ICMS is also available to Probation Departments that do not use BDS tests. This affordable monthly ICMS fee is based on the total number of departmental staff, which includes probation department administrators, chief probation officers, and probation officers. Staff totals can be readjusted as needed on a quarterly basis.
