New Technology in the Human Services

Potting, J. (1996). Dutch Branch Mirror for Generic Social Work. New Technology in the Human Services, 9(2), 23-26.
Abstract: In generic social work in the Netherlands a registration system concerning service and client characteristics has been offered for many years. Personnel and financial information from organisations is collected through an annual survey requested by branch organisations and national authorities. In 1994 the so called 'Branch Mirror survey AMW' was added. The information which is being collected through this survey makes itpossible to connect service information and client numbers with financial and organisational information. Through collection of this information at one point in the country, it has been made possible to make generalizationson national and institutional figures which contains plenty of information on the AMW-organisation itself. The way this has been realized and what it depicts is the subject of this article.
