Intake

Start the path to reentry from Day One.

Streamline the gathering of required assessments and pre-sentencing documentation. Start every resident's journey with thorough information to support case planning throughout incarceration and supervision.

Replace paper intake with digital workflows

Digitize the assessments and forms residents complete on arrival, so data flows directly into a resident's profile in real time.

  • Elicits more thorough responses: residents are more candid with an app than a staff member.
  • Saves data directly to the resident's profile so downstream care teams see details without waiting for paper forms to be transcribed or forwarded.
  • Flags returning residents for an abbreviated intake, sparing staff the need to collect information already in the system.

Stop entering the same data twice

Pre-populates intake records with structured data from external systems like courts and county jails.

  • Pulls criminal history and demographic data from connected external systems.
  • Extracts structured information from court documents using AI-assisted processing.
  • Frees staff to focus on clinical judgment and resident engagement rather than typing.
  • Reduces delays, gaps in records, and clerical errors.

Engage residents on their own terms

Administer AI-powered conversational assessments, letting residents respond at their own pace and in their preferred language while still capturing the essential data staff need.

  • Supports speech-to-text and text-to-speech for residents with low literacy or low digital literacy.
  • Alerts instantly when responses indicate the need for urgent medical or security attention.
  • Adapts in real time to a resident's responses to gather richer information than a checkbox form.
  • Generates a summary for staff review while preserving the verbatim transcript for reference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Intake module replace our existing assessment instruments?
+

No. The module supports the assessments you already use, such as clinical evaluations, risk assessments, and educational screenings, by routing data into a unified profile.

How does this affect intake bottlenecks?
+

By digitizing forms and assessments to be completed on tablets, and by pre-populating intake records from external data systems like courts and county jails, the module reduces the paper backlog that typically slows admissions.

How does the module support medical and security needs?
+

Immediate medical or security needs identified at intake are routed to the right staff in real time, so critical information about special populations flows seamlessly into downstream case plans and facility assignments.

Can it handle returning residents differently from new admissions?
+

Yes. The module flags individuals returning to custody after a revocation and routes them through an abbreviated intake process based on their prior status and time out of custody.

How does Intake connect to parole and reentry?
+

The module includes a Parole Review Date calculator so each resident's review is scheduled at the optimal point in their sentence. Case managers can work backward to sequence programming assessments and milestones.
