When the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) created an information integration strategy to optimize service delivery to millions of clients statewide, the vision was clear: We wanted to integrate information from 59 applications running on various operating platforms into a composite portal that provides a single view of all relevant data about an individual client.
The IT initiative turning that vision into reality is ONEFamily.
The DCF, Florida's largest agency, serves the state's population with a variety of programs that provide care and support to Florida's most vulnerable citizens, including abused and neglected children, the elderly and disabled, the physically and mentally challenged, and the substance dependent.
