Stockport Day Centre participates in Outcomes Pilot as a result of implementing CORS

Stockport Council and Pennine Trust are including Stockport Day Centre in their non-NHS Outcome Indicators Framework trial to establish baseline profile data, with CORS recording and reporting mechanisms as the key data tool.

CORS is already structured to collect Outcome Indicators based on Activities attended by Service Users. Gravitas is now working closely with Stockport Day Centre , Stockport Council and Pennine Trust to ensure that the measurement and reporting of these Indicators fall in line with the Outcomes Framework.

Starting from April 1st 2010, monitoring Service Users through the CORS review system will provide baseline data and regular follow ups to measure the performance of both the Day Centre and Individual Service Users.

CORS goes live at Stockport Day Centre

Staff at Stockport day centre are delighted to have a simple method of storing and retrieving daily records and events. As a small charity they were not in a position to purchase a bespoke tool they needed to meet new recording requirements, so Gravitas were happy to help.

‘We’ve wanted something like this for years, I didn’t think we would ever get it :so easy to use; it will make such a difference’ said one staff member.

Their delight will only be surpassed when they realise just how easy it is to provide funder reports of Intervention Histories required at the end of each quarter!

Gravitas develops CORS - case recording and outcome system

Using its experience in social care, Gravitas has developed CORS to respond to the demand for a simple-to-use, flexible case recording and monitoring system. CORS has been designed to support the activities of smaller scale charities and community organisations.

Staring into the answer to business problems

Companies are losing out by not using their computer systems effectively, according to Gravitas, a Stockport-based company that uses IT skills to solve business problems. The company firmly believes that most companies are not benefiting as they could from even the most common tools available to them. As a result they spend too much time, effort and money on often repetitive tasks when they could streamline the way they do business, and transform the day-to-day data they gather into information that could help drive productivity and profitability.
