Executive Summary Welcome to the UWGH Data Collaboration Newsletter. This newsletter features updates from our most recent Governing Body meetings, a reminder to beware of phishing attempts, and exciting progress on enhancements to the Integrated Client Journey (ICJ) Tech Tool! Table of Contents
Recap from May and June’s Governing Body Meeting The ICJ Governing Body met virtually in May and via email in June to continue its work as the main decision-making mechanism for the ICJ Data Collaboration. At May’s meeting, the Governing Body voted to approve the addition of the “Integrated Client Journey Technology Tool End User Agreement” to Appendix C. Attachments to the Data Governance Charter. All end users of the ICJ Tech Tool will sign the end user agreement which outlines their responsibilities when interacting with the ICJ Tech Tool and corresponding data. The meeting included a progress report on the ClientTrack data integration workgroup and requested that the research workgroup revise their recommendation based on feedback during the Governing Body meeting. PCIC provided an update on the build-out of the ICJ Tech Tool, including progress on critical features such as public pre-enrollment link and referral. The Governing Body also discussed the goals for phase 2: agency user and client interface of the ICJ Tech Tool. Key goals include:
At June’s email as meeting, the Governing Body was provided an update on the cybersecurity tabletop exercise planning efforts and notified on ICJ tech tool progress updates. The next Governing Body meeting will be an email meeting in July followed by virtual meeting is August 16, 2023. Under the Data Safety Moment, UWGH will highlight cybersecurity, privacy, or data security related topics to support the safe and secure use of the ICJ Tech Tool. Beware of phishing attempts! Avoid opening pop-ups, unknown emails, and links within emails! Some of the most common attempts involve requests for gift cards, employment offers, and account deactivation threats. Use these red flags to spot phishing attempts:
When in doubt, report the suspicious phishing attempts to your organization’s IT professional. If ICJ Tech Tool related, send the suspicious attempt to icjdatamanager@unitedwayhouston.org Questions? Please contact Elias Delgado at edelgado@unitedwayhouston.org. Past Data-Safety Moment:
To kick off Phase 2: agency users and client interface of the ICJ tech tool build-out, leaders from PCIC and UWGH have re-ignited a detailed requirements gathering loop to design and develop features primarily aimed at optimized results-based analysis for agencies. The focus for this phase of work is to provide ICJ participating agencies with the mechanisms to efficiently analyze and visualize the results of client journeys through dedicated data pipelines- at the individual and organization levels. While these developments are occurring, the following features have been enhanced to support existing workflows and prepare for this upcoming work:
These features represent meaningful enhancements that improve the end user’s experience prior to enrollment and allow managers/supervisors to optimize their team’s bandwidth in real-time. This will be particularly important as the ICJ progresses, and the client-load significantly increases. We are very excited for this roll-out of features, and eager to work towards optimization of the tech tool to support individuals along their journey to financial stability and self-sufficiency. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming months! Curious about the “look and feel” of the ICJ Tech Tool? Check out this video to see the key features of the platform.
