2020
WRMA celebrates 40 years of strengthening health and human service agencies
In 2020, WRMA celebrated 40 years of support dedicated to health and human service agencies.
Reaching this milestone was made possible by staffing some of the best and brightest minds in the industry — specifically within the public sector. Our company’s history and success has also been made possible by partnerships with many local, state, and federal agencies and other clients. Through these continued collaborations, WRMA contributes to a variety of positive outcomes in the health and human service field. See below for WRMA’s story of growth, featuring the key projects that molded WRMA into the company it is today.
1980 – A new beginning for health and human services support
Walter R. McDonald & Associates was founded to provide management consulting, research and evaluation, and IT services in the health and human services field. The first major project for Walter R. McDonald & Associates (now WRMA) was creating a national child welfare and juvenile justice prototype system. WRMA’s prototype, Child and Youth Centered Information System (CYCIS), was selected to become the requirement-based national model.
1988 – Launch of National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS)
The Administration on Children, Youth, and Families (ACYF) selected WRMA for developing a system to collect data on child maltreatment. Today, the resulting system, the National Child Abuse and Neglect Database System (NCANDS) is widely accepted as the primary source of child protective services statistics about child maltreatment in the United States. For more than 30 years, WRMA has earned sequential contracts with ACYF to design, implement, and maintain this national system and provide technical assistance to states/territories for compliance with federal reporting requirements.
1994 – Launch of Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System (SACWIS) National Prototype
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) selected WRMA and Mid-America Consulting Group to conduct the planning, design, development, and implementation of a national prototype Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System (SACWIS).
The overall goal of this project was the development of a national-model child welfare information system that would incorporate state-of-the-art technology and methodology, be capable of meeting all relevant federal reporting requirements, and assist direct service providers in the provision of timely and effective child welfare services. Also crucial was the ability of the new system to provide for interfaces with other existing systems, such as Title IV-A (Aid to Families with Dependent Children), Title IV-D (child support enforcement), and Title XIX (Medicaid).
Key to this project’s success was WRMA’s extensive technical assistance effort, focused on aiding states in understanding the issues involved in child welfare information system design, development, and implementation.
1998 – WRMA awarded contract with Office of Community Service
The Office of Community Service (OCS) selects WRMA to develop a data collection system and prepare reports for the Social Service Block Grant (SSBG) program. WRMA has maintained and improved this system over the course of its 20-year partnership with OCS.
2004 – ACF Contractor of the Year Award (NCANDS)
WRMA is awarded a Contractor of the Year award by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) for its National Child Abuse and Neglect Database System (NCANDS) project.
2004 – WRMA awarded contract with Health and Resources Services Administration
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) contracted with the WRMA team to provide technical assistance to its grantees to aid in the submission and validation of their required reporting data. Since then, HRSA HAB and WRMA have partnered on sequential contracts, at first providing technical assistance for three aggregate-level reports, then assisting HRSA HAB with transferring to client-level data reports, and presently providing technical assistance to grantees for nine data reports — two of which contain client-level data.
2009 – ACF Contractor of the Year Award (CCIPI)
WRMA was awarded a Contractor of the Year Award by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) for its Child Care Improper Payments Initiative, which is a collaboration with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, ACF, Office of Child Care (OCC). This initiative was the predecessor to the National Center on Subsidy Innovation and Accountability (NCSIA), a project OCC chose WRMA to lead.
2011 – WRMA awarded subsidy accountability contract with Office of Child Care
The Office of Child Care (OCC) selected WRMA to launch the National Center on Subsidy Innovation and Accountability, its new national center designed to provide resources and technical assistance to states, territories, and tribes on their effective use of federal child care subsidy funds. OCC has contracted sequentially with WRMA on this project since its first award.
2013 – Launch of National Adult Maltreatment Reporting System (NAMRS)
The Administration for Community Living (ACL) chose WRMA to conduct the planning, design, development, and implementation of the first comprehensive national reporting system for adult protective services (APS) programs. The goal was to provide consistent, accurate national data on the abuse and/or exploitation of older adults and adults with disabilities, based on what is reported to APS agencies.
The result was the National Adult Maltreatment Reporting System (NAMRS), which collects quantitative and qualitative data on APS in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and territories. Although still a relatively new system, NAMRS continually proves to be a source of information that can directly inform prevention and intervention practices at all levels of the adult maltreatment field. In the future, it will provide a better understanding of the characteristics of those experiencing and perpetrating abuse. It may also identify existing gaps in response and prevention measures.
2016 – WRMA awarded monitoring contract with Office of Child Care
The Office of Child Care (OCC) selected WRMA as a trusted partner to design, pilot, and implement a comprehensive monitoring process, including a custom web-based monitoring and reporting database, to determine and document states/territories compliance with Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) requirements.
