HMIS systems are a vital component within a region’s technical framework to support the work of addressing homelessness. Simtech staff have been performing HMIS administration services since 2002 and have a depth of understanding of HUD requirements and the intricacies of the various HMIS systems.
Examples of administration services include:
- Data Quality monitoring services
- Data Quality improvement support
- Technical support regarding HMIS reporting logic for federally required reports (LSA, SPMs, etc.)
- Validation of HMIS exports in the current HUD CSV Format
- Guidance and technical support to assist in complying with the HUD requirements related to coordinated entry
- Strategic, data-driven performance planning
- Data Migrations and warehousing
- and more!
Each region we provide administration services for is provided with access to their own virtual help desk to submit support tickets to. As we work collaboratively with the regions we support, we encourage local participation in the help desk. Together we will work through local set up issues, monitor data quality, work with your vendor to troubleshoot issues, and guide the region towards a more effective HMIS implementation that utilizes ongoing performance monitoring and evaluation to maximize the impact.
Please contact us if you would like to discuss the potential of utilizing our support services to help your region with running a technical framework that maximizes the community’s investment in HMIS.
