Sec. 3. In addition to the equipment needed to establish, operate, and maintain the index, the index must include the following components:
(1) Automated risk assessment in which a family case manager or supervisor is able to review a substantiated child abuse or neglect case to determine prior case history during the intake, assessment, and case management processes.
(2) The capability to allow supervisors to monitor child abuse and neglect cases and reports relating to the cases.
(3) The automated production of standard reports to enable the automated compilation of information gathered on forms used by family case managers to report the information and results of child abuse and neglect cases. The index must also provide for the automation of other data for planning and evaluation as determined by the department.
(4) The capability of same day notification and transfer of statistical information to the department regarding new and closed child abuse and neglect cases.
(5) The enabling of child welfare supervisors to review a child abuse or neglect determination at any point after the assessment is initially classified as substantiated abuse or neglect, to confirm the status of the case, and to allow for the consolidated management of cases.
(6) The capability for adjusting the index's programming at a later date if additional reporting requirements occur.
(7) A word processing capability to allow case notes to be recorded with each substantiated child abuse and neglect case.
