  • Settlement house data management system
    Patent number: 8762427
    Abstract: A method, social services data management system, and computer program product for managing data about social services. In response to receiving the data about the social services provided to a group of clients at a data collection application running on a computer system, the data collection application running on the computer system places the data into a first database in a first format using a content model identifying entities for the social services and relationships between the entities. The computer system changes the data in the first database from the first format to a second format used by a second database. The computer system moves the data in the second format to the second database. A report application running on the computer system generates a number of reports using the data in the second format in the second database.
