Streamline Volunteer Management

SHIPTools provides the ability to communicate with, organize, and track team members across the SHIP program.

	Volunteers can update their contact information, and it is automatically updated in the SHIP program's database. The SHIP program can send emails and create mailing labels for team members according to their organization or AAA region, for example, or to everyone in the database. The SHIP program can post resources and news items, providing one place for team members to go to get the most up-to-date information.
	The SHIP program can create groups of team members, such as by AAA or training territory, and can view team members' contributions by type of group. The SHIP program can restrict access to information based on a team member's role in the SHIP program as defined by state program administrators. The SHIP program can record a team member's preferences for volunteering such as hours available, languages spoken, or ability to do home visits.
	The SHIP program can review Client Contact Forms and outreach activities entered by team members and 'approve' them prior to their submission to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The SHIP program can examine a team member's participation across all aspects of the SHIP program such as by the number of clients counseled, presentations conducted, trainings attended, and/or online reviews completed. The program can also create comprehensive certifications based on standards they determine. The SHIP program can calculate a team member's participation to satisfy National Performance Reporting while also conducting local and state-based quality improvement initiatives of their own design.
