title: Cornerstone: Illinois' approach to service integration.
abstract: Cornerstone is a management information system developed and implemented by the Illinois Department of Public Health as a mechanism to facilitate maternal and child health service integration. Its design features combined program registration, standardized risk assessment, automated care plan development, and consolidated referral and scheduling. Cornerstone is a flexible, PC- and local area network-based system, allowing portability across program applications and geographic areas. A wide-area network enables local agencies to share data about clients. Development of Cornerstone was a collaborative effort by potential Cornerstone users and statewide administrative staff. The standard for equipment is set at a one-to-one ratio of workstations to case managers.
