Objective

Allow a Placement Resource to be studied concurrently as two placements types for the same child or children, by creating a new case quickly with minimum data entry. The original case will remain active so both requests can be processed concurrently.


Overview

Convert case allows more than one case planning goal to be pursued concurrently for child(ren) with the same placement resource. For example, a case starting out as a Regulation 2 Relative Foster Care resource can be converted to qualify for Adoption if the child becomes available.


Only the sending state ICPC Coordinator can covert a case. When the case is accessed in edit mode,

the system functions to enable a case to be converted will display on the Coordinator’s screen. The applicable Convert Case button will not be visible or available to other users.
