I. Introduction
A. For definition
purposes, the Case Management System (also known as the On-Line Support
Assistant) can be used for general case management. The Comprehensive
Case Management (CCM) system is compliant with Homeless Management
Information System (HMIS) and can be used for homeless management as
well as many other applications where a comprehensive approach to case
management is required. Either module can be configured for stand
alone, private use or can be shared in a controlled environment between
two or more agencies.
B. The project is
administered by 4People using the VisionLink Tapestry on-line server that hosts
the 4People CM and limits access to the database to participating
member agencies. The Tapestry software hosted on secure servers
protects Tapestry data from accidental or intentional unauthorized
modification, disclosure, or destruction. For detailed system
description, please contact 4People.
II. Confidentiality and
security
Each participating agency shall
have adequate policies and procedures in place to safeguard the data
stored in the 4People CM. Adequate policies and procedures
include compliance with any local, state, or federal regulations
pertinent to the type of personal, confidential information managed by
the organization. In the case of shared data through the
formation of a consortium, coalition, or other governing body, that
body assumes the same responsibilities as the participating members and
shall sign this agreement as well.
III. Proprietary Rights and
Database Integrity
A. The Agency shall not
give or share assigned user identification and passwords to access the
4People CM with any other
organization, governmental entity, business, or individual.
B. The Agency will not cause
corruption of the 4People CM in any manner or way. Any unauthorized
access or unauthorized
modification to computer system information or
interference with normal system operations, whether on the equipment
housed by
VisionLink or any computer system or network operated by
4People, will result in immediate suspension of services.
IV. Hold Harmless
4People makes no warranties,
expressed or implied. The Agency, at all times, will indemnify and hold
4People harmless from any damages, liabilities, claims, and expenses
that may be claimed against the Agency; or for injuries or damages to
the Agency or another party arising from participation in the 4People
CM; or arising from any acts, omissions, the Agency’s failure to comply
with laws, statutes, ordinances, or regulations applicable to it or the
conduct of its business. The Agency will also hold the 4People harmless
for negative repercussions resulting in the loss of data due to delays,
non-deliveries, miss-deliveries, or service interruption caused by the
Agency’s or another Member Agency’s negligence or errors or omissions,
as well as natural disasters, technological difficulties, and/or acts
of God. 4People shall not be liable to the Agency for damages, losses,
or injuries to the Agency or another party other than if such is the
result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of 4People.
