Digital inclusion means being a part of the information loop through the acquisition and use of information and communication technology (ICT).   The majority of Human Services is clearly digitally excluded, therefore...

It Cannot Keep Pace with Needs Service providers must keep pace with the needs of the people they serve.  The exclusion gap grows, making policies, best practices, staff development, and other tools less relevant. Organizations expend more resources to accomplish the same outcomes.  The only way to keep pace with ICT-driven change is to apply ICT.

It Cannot Deploy Best Practices Human Services lacks an ICT framework to effectively share and deploy new approaches and best practices on a large scale.  Service providers need to understand a best practice and possess the tools to apply it.  Information technology converts practice to process and replicates this process across the nation with training, and support to those that need it.

Many are Closing because of Cost Every year funding sources demand more performance measurement and accountability. This requires tools like case management. Unfortunately many small and medium-sized organizations in Human Services do not have the funds and tools so they are forced to close. Partnership for Human services provides these tools at very minimal or no cost.

Its Capacity Declines We live in the Information Age in an Information Society immersed in an Internet culture.  Human Services must embrace this prevailing internet culture and connect with society to prevent its capacity from declining.

There is Untapped Potential of Working Together ICT allows organizations to work together seamlessly and automatically. In the Human Services sector, most of the people in need require services from multiple organizations in a coordinated manner. Partnership for Human Services demonstrates that ICT in Human Services can achieve equally dynamic outcomes.
