RE: [MARHMIS] Tracking meals - HMIS, or, other software?

Good morning. CACH just set up a program which sounds similar to the one you refer to.  We are early in the implementation so I have so real feedback for you except that Bowman confirmed that the Client Served report in ServicePoint can definitely be used to track this information. Alternately, they said you can create an ART report that will also track this information. I doubt we’ll do that.

Anyway, I can stay in touch w/ you about how this goes.  Good luck. - Deb

Hi everyone,

This might be slightly off-topic (or, maybe not!) but I have a faith-based organization looking for help finding a fast and efficient way to track the clients they serve meals to at their daily hot meal program. Some of these clients are in their housing programs, but some are not. We are looking at how it would work in ServicePoint, but I’d like to see if anyone else has a great recommendation for accomplishing this. This particular agency is severely understaffed and I have concerns that doing it in ServicePoint may end up being too time consuming.

Right now, they’re working off a spreadsheet of sorts. They aren’t looking for a lot of special details (we’d originally looked at scanners and cards, but that seems to be too costly for right now), but primarily would love to see a name, a picture, and the number of meals served to the individual – all in a quick enough format that someone could record it as the clients come in at mealtimes.

You can email me back privately at kablechertas@yorkcountypa.gov

Thanks!
