Client cases - key concepts
 
The single client record
Client and case records
The pathway to service
There are a number of concepts that underpin the design of Gambler’s Help Connect that you should familiarise yourself with before you start using the system. Key concepts are:
*Global and local records:
*Global: The client record available across the entire Gambler’s Help program
*Local: Case records restricted to the local Gambler’s Help service where the client is receiving help
*Direct referrals from the Gambler’s Helpline to local services
*The different types and sub-types of cases and the contexts in which you use them
*The organisation of local services in parent/child hierarchies.
