Q: What is the role of county for data conversion activities such as one-to-one mapping from the Child Welfare Services/Case Management System (CWS/CMS) to the Child Welfare Services-California Automated Response and Engagement System (CWS-CARES).

A: Counties and Tribes will participate in data conversion activities in three ways:
  • Counties in the CWS-CARES Org Data Conversion Workgroup assist in validating field mappings of data elements and list of values mappings for data that will be converted from the CWS/CMS to CWS-CARES and provide county specific usages of fields and data in the system. 
  • Counties and Tribes also participate in the Data Quality Workgroup assisting with data cleanup efforts in the CWS/CMS, which helps ensure high quality data is converted. 
  • Core constituent counties participate in validating data that has been converted from the CWS/CMS to CWS-CARES. 
Mapping is done by the CWS-CARES conversion team so counties will not be asked to do one-to-one mapping from CWS/CMS to CWS-CARES. However, the project office is expecting participating counties to review the mappings from a county’s business and data practices’ point of view.
