Escape Room of the Month!
Service Transactions Escape Room: Cirque de Grim
http://lccivlivefiles.lanecounty.org/Information/HHS/HMIS/Training/ServiceTransactionsEscapeRoom8.30.2024B/story.html
You were hoping to work for the circus, but instead you are doing their data entry. That is, until you find a wooden chest with 3 locks on it. Can you open it before those strange people find you with it? Learn how to create service transactions with rent, utilities, and basic services, all while finding clues and opening the locks. What will be inside?!! You'll have to prove your service transaction skills to find out!
Attention Agency Admin!

Did you know?
There is one HMIS answer choice we never use.
The choice “Data not collected” is never used as an answer choice in Lane County. In fact, if you don't have an answer to a question, nor is the answer “Client doesn't know” or “Client prefers not to answer,” the best option is to leave the question unanswered.

For example, if you don't have an answer to “Does the client have a disabling condition?” then you would leave the answer choice on “-Select-.”
