Client: Empowering Independent Living provides around-the-clock remote support with assistive technology and sensor devices to enable independent living for people with intellectual or developmental disabilities and aging adults in the least restrictive way.
Challenge: The client engaged SSI to develop a new web application to centralize client data and provide a single source of truth for managing, monitoring, and reporting client information. This centralization would facilitate better decision-making and improve service delivery. They faced several critical challenges stemming from their existing legacy desktop application. The onboarding process for the existing application was complex, making it challenging for staff and clients to navigate. This resulted in numerous errors, inaccuracies, and inefficiencies in the onboarding process.
Solution: To address these challenges, SSI developed SupportPlan, a seamless web application for client onboarding. The platform implemented the following features and solutions:
- Intuitive User Interface: SupportPlan provides an intuitive user interface that effortlessly guides clients and staff through onboarding. The user-friendly layout and straightforward navigation resulted in smoother operations and fewer errors.
- Step-by-Step Onboarding Process: SSI implemented a step-by-step onboarding process that simplifies the collection of client information. Each step is defined, and progress indicators help clients and staff understand their position.
- Data Validation and Error Prevention: The new system incorporates data validation checks, significantly reducing common input errors. Real-time feedback and notifications are available to address issues as they occur, enhancing accuracy.
- Centralized Client Data Management: With a centralized database at its core, SupportPlan securely manages all client information. Robust data encryption and access controls ensure the highest data protection and regulatory compliance.
- Role-Based Access Control: The role-based access control system ensures that only authorized individuals can access and modify client data. Staff members are assigned specific roles and permissions based on their responsibilities.
- Automated Reporting and Analytics: SupportPlan features automated reporting and analytics tools, offering insights into onboarding progress and allowing the generation of customized reports. This data-driven approach enhances decision-making and service quality.
- Scalability and Flexibility: The scalable system allows SupportPlan to adapt to a growing client base and changing requirements. It can be easily updated and expanded to meet future needs.
Result: Implementing SupportPlan has yielded several substantial benefits; the introduction of SupportPlan has significantly reduced errors throughout client onboarding. The dynamic form generation, data validation checks, and real-time feedback have all minimized data entry and processing errors and resulted in cost savings, client satisfaction, and improved compliance.
The streamlined and user-friendly onboarding process has attracted new clients and contributed to an increased user base. This has been achieved through enhanced user experience, a positive reputation, and the opportunity to upsell and cross-sell services to a broader audience.
SupportPlan significantly improved staff satisfaction by simplifying the onboarding process and reducing the administrative burden on employees.
