JFS has been able to make several upgrades in technology thanks to grants from the Hyde and Watson Foundation, the E.J. Grassmann Trust, the Overlook Hospital Foundation, and the Westfield Foundation, all of New Jersey. These upgrades are improving our ability to deliver service to clients in and around Union County.
Thanks to a grant from the Hyde and Watson Foundation and the Westfield Foundation, we upgraded our systems to conform to the latest HIPPA billing systems for Medicare and private insurance. With our software now in the "cloud", JFS began looking into technological ways to improve client care for our nurses and social workers who make home visits. Thanks to the E.J.Grassmann Trust and the Overlook Hospital Foundation, JFS has purchased iPads that conform to our client software. Field staff now have the ability to access agency documents and resources including a client’s electronic charts, and make referrals to improve client care all while in the home of the client. JFS field staff can spend more time addressing clients’ immediate needs in their homes and less time in the office.
In addition, the Union Foundation of New Jersey, generously supported our efforts to upgrade security for Agency employees. Thanks to this grant, employees gain access to the main office in Elizabeth with electronic badges. Nurses, social workers, home health aides, homemakers, and Meals on Wheels personnel also wear these badges so they are easily identifiable when in the field making home visits.
Jewish Family Service is grateful to these foundations for their support.
