Athena Software (http://www. athenasoftware. net/features-outcomes. html (http://www. athenasoftware. net/features-outcomes. html)) launches new version of Penelope to improve the effectiveness of workers compensation case management outcome measures using web based integrated counseling software. Dana Fox, Director of Business Development Athena Software mailto:dana@athenasoftware. net said, “We know that you care about how well your organization is doing, but it is often hard to know how to measure it.” Fox went on to say that, “Workers compensation case management outcome measures using client self-rating surveys through the stages of service (pre-mid-post) is one proxy approach to answering the hardest question, are we making a difference.”

Both Penelope and Athena Case Management and Counseling Software applications feature a custom outcomes measurements and workers compensation case management component (http://www. athenasoftware. net/features-outcomes. html (http://www. athenasoftware. net/features-outcomes. html)) that allows any number of surveys to be easily incorporated into both Penelope and Athena by the system administrator at the agency. Surveys (eg. client satisfaction, self-reported ratings, depression index etc.) can be easily accessed and applied to individuals at the pre - mid - and/or post-service stages depending on the nature of the survey. Individual and/or aggregate outcomes can easily be accessed to give a picture of client-expressed ratings during the stages of service and their degree of change over time. Reports and pivot tables allow evaluation results to be broken out by any period and by any category in the system (eg. gender, age, program, funder/ payer, user-defined fields, worker etc.).

-worker /client scheduling

-client outcome evaluation

-clinical case and session note recording

-program service delivery details

-comprehensive reporting functions

-client self-intake kiosk mode
