MATCH! E-Tool
The MATCH! E-Tool is a placement search tool that pulls information in real-time from provider data in GA+SCORE. MATCH! lists active Child Caring Institutions (CCI) and Child Placing Agencies (CPA) based on end-user search criteria including geography, special services and programs offered, and child characteristics. The report results are based on data entered into GA+Score by RBWO providers.
The MATCH! E-Tool was developed to support DFCS case managers in finding RBWO placements. The MATCH! E-Tool does the following:
- Allows for multiple, flexible search options;
- Returns results using real-time capacity information on CCIs and CPA foster homes;
- Sorts by the provider's current Performance Based Placement quarterly grade.
With the MATCH! E-Tool, it's not necessary to call providers to see if they have space available. MATCH! E-Tool returns results for placement matches of providers who actually have space available, in order of their Performance Based Placement grade.
