How is Cúram different from a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software?
How is Cúram different from a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software?
CRM systems are designed for sales and customer interactions, not for how health and human services programs actually operate. Cúram is built specifically for health and human services, with a participant‑centered data model that natively supports households, eligibility, evidence, benefits, services, providers, payments, and privacy‑governed data sharing without forcing HHS programs into generic customer structures.

Does Cúram support Early Intervention (EI) programs?
Does Cúram support Early Intervention (EI) programs?
Yes. Cúram supports Early Intervention programs with a configurable, provider‑based platform that manages referrals, evaluations, eligibility, service delivery, and exits from referral through closure. It includes pre‑built workflows, provider and multidisciplinary team coordination, federally aligned reporting (IDEA Section 618), and a secure family portal for status updates, document upload, and ongoing engagement.
