The Challenges of Verification

The process of verifying the evidence gathered by an organization has many challenges. Verification requirements can vary by jurisdiction; for example, states and counties may have different verification requirements. In addition, verification requirements often vary between agencies or programs/products. Finally, verification requirements can change as a result of frequent changes to social welfare legislation.

Currently, agencies implement verification rules by translating legislation into sets of rules that are coded directly into the application. This means that any changes to verification processing require the rebuilding and redeploying of the application. For these reasons, the definition and maintenance of an organization's requirements can be both time consuming and inefficient.

Cúram Verification addresses these difficulties by providing a flexible verification module that allows a user to define both the evidence that requires verification and the means by which that evidence can be verified. Verifications can be configured at runtime, which means that the application does not need to be rebuilt or redeployed in order to change verification requirements. Using these methods, Cúram Verification allows caseworkers to efficiently manage verification processes that have previously been complex and very difficult to implement and maintain.
