Our Story
Founded in 1998, The Center for Applied Management Practices, Inc. (CAMP) was designed to support health and human service organizations through the creation and provision of innovative management tools and trainings. In the first 10 years, we focused on training and curriculum development, database management, and administrative services, such as strategic planning, program evaluation, and data analysis.
During this time, our many conversations with clients revealed a widespread need for cost-effective, customizable software that supported their many procedural and regulatory needs. In 2008, we developed a prototype software solution based on the experiences of our clients, a journey that we are proud to say has led to eLogic Genesis, a state-of-the-art web-based application that effectively closes the gap between software, management, and service delivery.
MISSION
To create and provide innovative management tools, technology, training, and evidence-based practices that support the management, accountability, and continuous improvement of private, non-profit, and public organizations engaged in the delivery of health and human services.
VISION
To strengthen and support health and human service organizations so that they become central to the health and wellbeing of their communities.
VALUES
Curiosity
We should embrace new knowledge with inquisitiveness and inquiry. Even the most tedious of topics may suddenly fuel innovation.
Empiricism
Decisions, both large and small, should be fueled by data and analysis.
Ingenuity
Solutions should be approached with creativity, inventiveness, imagination, and resourcefulness.
Quality
We should strive for excellence in all that we do.
Transparency
We believe in being clear and easily understood in all our communication and information sharing.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Mission alignment is critical to ensuring that all aspects of CAMP – from objectives, strategies, and to products, services, and communications – clearly align with our mission and propel us all towards the same goal.
Collaboration is paramount to the way that we think and work together at CAMP. Collaboration requires trust, communication, and an ability to see the merit in each person’s unique contribution to the fulfillment of our common goals and objectives.
Communication involves openly and honestly sharing information such that client organizations have access to our goals and decision-making processes, as do our staff. At CAMP, we understand knowledge to be a critical resource, one that should be widely distributed in service to our staff, client organizations, and communities.
CAMP is emphatically data-driven which is to say that we view data analysis as the best vehicle through which to build knowledge, formulate decisions, take action, and evaluate results (of these processes and others). To be data driven is to consistently situate one’s plan of action not within a theory or explanation, but instead within the immediate realm of carefully collected evidence.
Continuous quality improvement is the cyclical, research-driven evaluation process through which we strive for excellence, both internally and with our client organizations. Following the identification of one or more areas of improvement via data collection and analysis, corrective adjustments are communicated, implemented, and measured accordingly, and the process of data-driven identification and improvement continues.
Embracing the evaluatory cycle of continuous quality improvement requires a rich culture of learning, or an environment that fosters curiosity and ingenuity by cultivating a mindset of opportunity, learning, and growth over one of challenge, adversity, and failure.
Our products and services are specifically designed to equip client organizations with the tools and resources necessary to be advocates for their clients and influence change within their communities.
