Goal and impact
The aim is to process applications for general assistance and special assistance faster and in the same way.
The algorithm checks during each step that applications comply with laws and regulations. The counsellor can always decide to do something different from what the programme suggests.
Considerations
One advantage of using this algorithm is that consultants need to do less manual work. The system ensures that important knowledge is preserved and that complicated administrative processes become easier. Moreover, it ensures that all applications are handled in the same way and that the documents that come out of it are clear and equal.
Because the consultants can always intervene and make adjustments, the risks when using this programme are very small. Therefore, using the programme is well balanced with the benefits it brings.
Human intervention
After the algorithm is finished, the employee can still modify all the results himself. Only then is the result finalised.
Risk management
There are no foreseen risks in using the algorithms set out in the decision tree.
Legal basis
The legal basis for deploying the algorithm is implementation of the statutory task Participation Act (which includes the SUWI Act).

Technical design
Decision trees. A decision tree is a part of the algorithm that helps make choices. It asks questions such as: "Does the application meet certain conditions?" and, based on the answers, determines which steps the system takes next.
