When we started HMIS@NCCEH, we knew there would be several steps to improving HMIS. The first was getting our data out of the NC HMIS implementation and restructuring how the database was working behind the scenes. This step was completed in 2019 and we've seen improvements. The next step is to ensure that the software we are using is able to accomplish our vision of using technology not simply to report, but to assist us in ending homelessness in our everyday use.
The HMIS@NCCEH Advisory Board is currently reviewing our HMIS software needs and expects to issue a software Request for Proposals (RFP) to decide if the software we're currently using, ServicePoint, is the best option for our eighty-one counties.
To inform our process, we invite you to complete a survey that asks about your software needs and how ServicePoint is working for you.
We're hoping to hear from a broad range of stakeholders. We need your input -- whether you've never used HMIS, use HMIS every day, or any experience in between!
Please consider taking 15 minutes to complete this survey and sharing it with the people you work with. The more we hear from you, the more we can understand what you need when it comes to HMIS.
The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete. Note that you can save the survey and return to it if needed.
If you're interested in working with us on crafting the software RFP and participating in software review,
