The Arc of Delaware County is an agency that covers an expansive county the size of Rhode Island and supports over 260 unduplicated individuals supported by over 180 full-time employees. The Arc of Delaware County is known for their comprehensive immersion trainings to teach specific competencies that provide the principles for creating an effective, sustainable way of supporting individuals. They provide services for children and adults with disabilities, including in-home training and support, children’s services, case management and service coordination, group recreation and family support, education, training, and employment, adult residential services, and adult guardianship services.
The Arc of Delaware County initially implemented MediSked Connect to streamline efficiencies within their agency after being inundated with paper forms and documentation. Regulations about documentation motivated them to find a platform that suited their specific needs, and help they put more focus on providing direct care services rather than waste time compiling data.
