Bristlecone Family Resources is a recipient of the "IT Makeover Campaign" sponsored by IQ Technology Solutions and Microsoft Licensing.  The campaign provides 2 local non-profit organizations with $15,000 to upgrade, implement or expand their information technology systems. Organizations were selected based on their vision on how information technology solutions would allow them to have a greater impact on the community.

 

Technology is a critical part of  Bristlecone's daily operations. The agency must maintain technology standards in compliance with federal mandates on confidentiality and disclosure of client information. Bristlecone's clinical and administrative staff use computers to review, retrieve and update client records; for community outreach and communications; data collection; grant reporting; and for all financial procedures.

 

Bristlecone's current systems are dated. Technological upgrades will prove cost effective for scheduling, billing, data collection and reporting. The IT Makeover will allow counselors and staff to spend less time dealing with the frustrations of inadequate technology and more time doing what they do best: Helping people overcome addiction.
