Information Services (IS), formerly UNITY/SACWIS, is the unit within the Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) that supports the technology needs of the state and the county agencies for child welfare. IS maintains three major computer applications: Unified Nevada Information Technology for Youth (UNITY), Tyler Supervision, and Avatar. UNITY is a federally mandated Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System that is required by child welfare agencies nationwide to submit adoption and foster care information electronically to the Administration for Children and Families. UNITY became fully operational statewide in September 2003 and has been modified extensively to help meet the changing business requirements of the organization. Implemented in 2018, Tyler Supervision is the case management system for the Youth Parole Bureau. Operational since 2005, Avatar is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act compliant case management and billing system that supports Children's Mental Health. Additionally, IS provides helpdesk support and application training to the three Nevada child welfare agencies (Division of Child and Family Services, Clark County Department of Family Services and Washoe County Human Services Agency) as well as division-wide network and desktop computer support.
