CARES Data Infrastructure (CDI )

The CDI preserves State independence and control of vital assets, including content (data, documents, and media) and business rules. Accordingly, the CDI hosts: • A Business Rules Repository and Engine, which ensures that the CWS-CARES policy and program rules are portable to another platform, should the State replace Salesforce. • Document and Template Management, which maintains the definitions of forms, assessment instruments, and survey instruments outside of Salesforce. This also equips the State to apply advanced analytics (text analytics, for example) to unstructured content, such as notes and narratives. • Registries, which manage all the CWS-CARES reference (master) data and provide tools for detecting, resolving and preventing duplicate records for key entities such as Person, Address, Provider, and Facility. • Identity Management, with a shared Active Directory that integrates with county directories to control access to both the Salesforce and the CDI resources.
