Our client evaluates medical institutions (e.g. hospitals and emergency care facilities) to provide insight on potential risks and priorities. They subsequently provide a report detailing their findings so that the medical facility staff can take action to correct shortcomings prior to The Joint Commission’s official visit.

When our client first contacted us, they were highly dependent on Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets (Excel was their primary tool for data collection and reporting). They needed a way for multiple users to be able to input and manage data simultaneously. Their in-field consultants perform fast-paced audits that require them to quickly document their findings. At the end of the day the consultants needed to consolidate their findings into a client-friendly report. The Excel approach was limiting their ability to do this efficiently.

Our client started out searching for a Microsoft Access developer to design a program based on their spreadsheets, but it turned out that Access wasn’t powerful enough for what they needed.
