Case Study: Island Health achieves secure, easy board access and more prepared, engaged directors with Aprio

Island Health explains switch to Aprio from SharePoint

Island Health, which serves more than 793,000 people on Vancouver Island and surrounding regions, faced a dual challenge: strict data confidentiality requirements and board directors who struggled to access large meeting packages on Microsoft SharePoint (forgotten passwords, difficulty finding materials), which reduced preparation time and extended meetings. To address this, Island Health evaluated options and selected Aprio, adopting the Aprio board portal for its combination of strong security and simpler access for external directors.

Aprio implemented its board portal, preserving the security Island Health required while streamlining access and updates: the board liaison can upload the full board package and prepare the agenda in an hour or less, make changes and notify all directors instantly, and directors can annotate and navigate materials on their own devices. The rollout took just a few weeks with Aprio training, and the result was measurable—faster, more effective distribution and more engaged, better-prepared directors—while maintaining document preparation time and protecting data security.
