Information Management System: Applicable standard or regulation 6.19, chapter 26
We use Therap, a software designed specifically for those with intellectual disabilities. It allows customizable plans, data tracking, health tracking, and more. This system allows for all data to be updated in live time and all individuals on the team to have access right away.
This system allows us to track incident reports, appointment records, all updates to client files and activity of any and all agents who access the system.
All client files are similar in format and placement of information with all services related to rules and regulations with customized notes and goals for each client. We encourage all providers and clients to customize to meet their needs, this may result in simple or complex plans.
Backup includes (from Therap), physical controls, logical controls, and procedural controls to secure and back up information.
Therap Security Primer
At Therap Services, emphasis is placed upon the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the
services and associated data provided to customers. The network and computing infrastructure
that has been designed and developed to deliver these services is assessed on an ongoing
basis to ensure compliance with the stated goals. This is accomplished by a combination of
physical, logical and procedural controls.
An important contributor to the controls and practices developed at Therap is the "Twenty
Critical Security Controls for Effective Cyber Defense" document that has been developed by
the SANS organization (www.sans.org). The document was created and is actively mainta'ned
by a combination of federal, military and civilian cyber security experts, and is gaining
acceptance as a de-facto standard for Secure IT infrastructures
