ADE Incorporated is pleased to announce that Children, Youth and Families Department (CYFD) of New Mexico will be receiving the 2010 Innovation in Behavioral Healthcare Services Award. The iAward will be received for the development and implementation of the newly re-designed ADE Incorporated PASS Web Tracking software within the Children, Youth and Families Department.

The iAward is sponsored by Washington, D.C.-based State Association of Addiction Services (SAAS) and NIATx, based at the University of Wisconsin. The award highlights innovations in process improvement that position an organization to meet the challenges of future service delivery.

To be eligible for the iAward, agencies "must have developed and implemented innovative approaches to management in the area of process improvement in response to internal or external changes in their service delivery environment" within the last three years.The improvement "should be unique and not typically identified as a common business practice."

ADE Incorporated has and continues to work closely with CYFD to present the totally-customized database, designed to follow the business processes of the department. The PASS Web Tracking software has been central to coordinating and unifying service delivery, providing access to the various stakeholders for services and information, and monitoring and tracking activities with an easy-to-use, customizable and cost effective program.

Children, Youth and Families Department of New Mexico will be sending a representative to accept the award at the SAAS Annual Conference and NIATx Summit in Cincinnati, Ohio from July 11-14, 2010."Winners will be invited to attend an exclusive breakfast with SAMHSA leadership" and "will be invited to participate in a workshop where they will present their innovative practice."

ADE Incorporated is pleased to be an integral part of the innovative solution to the coordination and unification of the service delivery process for CYFD in New Mexico.

Congratulations to the CYFD team!
