Developmental Disability Registry
The Developmental Disability Registry (DDR) is an electronic system developed by NCSS to assist VWOs in rendering needed services to persons with disabilities and seniors with dementia. DDR enables VWOs to effectively manage their client’s information and systematically track their development over time. It can also further aid VWOs in their collaborative efforts in the provision of coordinated services to clients.
The system allows the generation of DDR Identity cards for persons with disabilities. These ID cards enable members of the public to render appropriate assistance to persons with disabilities. In March 2008, NCSS implemented the ‘Safe Return Initiative’ for seniors with dementia. The benefits of the Registry and the ID cards were extended to seniors with dementia.
The benefits of using DDR can be described as follows:
 |
Easy access |
| - | accessible through internet |
|
Convenient referral |
| - | more efficient client management within the organisation and referral across agencies enhancing overall service delivery |
|
Management of data |
| - | able to generate reports on clients’ progress and outcomes as well as statistical reports on clients’ profile quickly |
|
Security |
| - | a two-tier security feature ensures that only assigned staff in-charge has the right to read or write into the case file |
