ANALYSIS:
1. Project topic AND description: Development of an integrated case management
system issuing benefits and services to the people of ABC county.
2. Project purpose AND goals: To Develop an automated software case management
system for subsidized child care. Which will help providers to register themselves and
receive compensation directly from MSH state.

DESIGN and DEVELOPMENT:

1. Explain why the problem and technological solution you have proposed are worthy of
study:
As IT Manager for ABC county, it has been noted that the county is experiencing loss of
productivity and lagging customer satisfaction because of outdated manual child care
benefit application process. County workers have to excessively work on the application
process resulting in manual error, delayed processing and wrong assessment. This
proposal presents an IT solution in the form of a complete automated child care case
management IT systems and software, to increase productivity and enhance the
customer experience.

2. Projected outcomes and deliverables:
i- One-time entry of information for multiple programs
ii- sharing of information across multiple programs, automation of repetitive paper-based
administrative tasks
iii-Easy access to the information Providers need, such as vouchers & attendance rosters.
Update Provider information online with the click of a button.
iv- No individual County contracts—once enrolled in the Provider Portal, Providers can serve
children in any County in MSH state.
v-Payments directly to Provider account
vi- automated eligibility determination resulting in quick turnaround.

3. Estimated number of hours for the following:
i. Planning and design: 450hours
SSM3: Capstone Topic Approval and Release Form MSITM Capstone Topic Approval Form
PAGE 2
ii. Development, testing, implementation: 1050 hours
iii. Documentation: 80 hours
iv. Total: 1580 hours

4. Projected completion date: 1 year

IMPLEMENTATION and EVALUATION:
1. Describe how you will approach the implementation of your project: Currently there
are 100 counties in MSH state which follow the manual process for child care benefit.

2. The project will begin implementation with a set of four Pilot Counties—these
Counties will provide early feedback on the system so the project can make any
adjustments needed before implementing it for others. The project will then be
implemented for all other Counties in four groups, A, B, C, and D. Pilot Providers will
begin enrolling in July 2022, followed by the remaining groups between August and
October 2022. Pilots will begin accepting vouchers and submitting attendance,
completing their transition to the Provider Portal, in March 2022

Describe the client population served by your agency.

Describe the client population served by your agency. How are you similar or different from the clients at the agency? (Race, ethnicity, cultural practices, religion, socioeconomic class, gender, sexual orientation, language use, physical and mental abilities or disabilities, level of education, etc.) Research this based on your 498 agency website and town demographics or information gathered from your interview with the agency during your placement process. My placement is
Discuss the skills related to empathy as well as cultural competence. How might the similarities and/or differences you have with the clients impact your capacity to develop empathy for the clients? Describe how cultural competency is practiced in the engagement, assessment, intervention, and evaluation of the work with diverse clients?
How do you understand the clients’ experiences of multiple oppressions? How do you think you can address the human rights and social justice needs in your social work practice in the future? Be specific about the human rights issues and the intersectionality of your client population. Think critically about how you would demonstrate ethical and professional behavior.

Describe what you consider to be your predominant style of interacting in conflict situations.

From what you have learned about conflict style in the reading, write an essay of about 1,000 words in length in which you do the following:
Describe what you consider to be your predominant style of interacting in conflict situations.
erm conflict style, although generally denoting either a personality trait or a characteristic manner of behaving, in Folger et al.’s estimation (p. 108) it more meaningfully refers to one’s orientation toward conflict and a predisposition to behave in conflict situations in particular ways–but not exclusively so, as people have demonstrated time and again a capacity for changing styles across conflict situations and even within particular interactions. Also of importance is the recognition that the other party’s behavior in any given conflict situation can be a powerful determinant of one’s own conflict style.

One’s style, in the sense that Folger et al. use the term, is first and perhaps foremost a reflection of a person’s concern for oneself and tendency to be assertive versus concern for others and tendency to be cooperative.
The most commonly mentioned categories ) of conflict style include
a. competing (forcing–the hard form–and contending–the softer form);
b. avoiding (with the variations of protecting, as in, “I am not going to talk about it,” withdrawing, as in subtly changing the subject, and smoothing, as in de-emphasizing the significance of the issue in dispute);
c. accommodating (including both yielding, or completely giving in to the other party, and conceding on some issues);
d. compromising (“firm” concerning what one is willing to give up and expects in return and “flexible” in respect to these matters); and
e. problem solving–active engagement in a search for settlements that fulfill both parties’ desires.
Classify the style in terms of which of the categories in the reading assignment it appears to fit best and explain why.
Discuss situations in which you think your style has been of help in resolving conflicts and others in which it has been problematic.
Identify what you think might be some of the difficulties in trying to change your style if a given situation seemed to make a change appear advisable.
