The Kansas Dept. of Health and Environment has chosen Kalispell, Montana-based GL Solutions to modernize the state’s child care licensing system.
KDHE plans to use GL Solutions’ GL Suite regulatory software solution to provide child care and foster care licensing functionality for KDHE and the Kansas Department for Children and Families. KDHE serves over 4,500 child care facilities across the state.
Bill Moseley, CEO of GL Solutions, describes the company’s Agency Transformation Service to modernize Kansas’ child care licensing step-by-step. “Agency transformation accepts an agency where they are at and takes them down an achievable path toward being a model agency. Most agencies have foundational gaps that need to be filled before we can build modern workflow and communication tools. In the case of Kansas child and foster care agencies, GL Solutions can help the agency start with solid business processes and tools to ensure consistent execution. Kansas already has some online services. GL Solutions can identify the gaps and fill out the missing customer service components. On this foundation, GL Solutions will help the agency integrate providers with agency licensing employees—a seamless experience of modern tools, like chat, email, text and other communication tools to get providers approved efficiently. Finally, GL Solutions can help the agency continuously improve by making sense of the mounds of data collected by our application. We help the agency get providers licensed more quickly by helping provide analytics about where the approval process gets stuck. Is it policy review? Exceptions? Where do things get bogged down? With this information the agency can be empowered to solve problems. GL Solutions is a powerful friend for agencies that want to be the best.”
KDHE joins a growing list of human services agencies partnering with GL Solutions to keep children safe. Other GL Solutions’ clients include the Virginia Department of Behavioral Heath, the New Mexico Department of Children, Youth and Families, as well as the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services.
