Case Management Client Service Model at FRO• On November 21, 2011 the Case Management Client Service Model was successfully implemented at FRO, replacing
the traditional call centre environment.
• Moving to a case management client service business model was a key pillar in FRO’s modernization effort and supports the implementation of FCMS.
• Using the case management client service model, FRO is able to respond more quickly and consistently to client and service partner needs:
Municipal, Ministry and First Nations partners are able to contact the case contact directly through the call routing system of the case management client service model
Inter jurisdictional callers can contact the ISO unit directly through the call routing system of the case management client service model
5
Service partners can access case information via the telephone or regular mail.
Secure case file accessUse the call routing system to select the type of callerKey in the case number
Current AccessODSP Office Staff (Ministry)OW Office Staff (Municipal)First Nations OWAsReciprocating Jurisdictions
The telephone will continue to provide access to the case contact for all clients and service partners.

Introduction of a New Service ChannelFollowing FCMS “go live” (June 2012), the introduction of the FRO Case Management web tool will allow access to specific case information through a self-service online option

Go-Live
• On June 25, 2012, FCMS will be implemented and the web tool will be available for use • Identified First Nations users will be provided with training materials and access to the FRO web tool
before Go-Live. • FRO has made a business decision to do a soft launch of the web tool to current MECA/FROnt users in
Ministry offices and SADAs, interested First Nations and new Support Recipients and Support Payors. • Periodic evaluations of FRO web tool uptake and FCMS adoption will determine the timing of web tool
expansion.
Below are the main high level activities that make up the FRO adoption approach for rolling out the web tool.
