Case Study: Collingwood General & Marine Hospital achieves major meeting cost & time savings with eScribe Software

Collingwood General & Marine Hospital Makes Meetings Cost & Time Efficient

Collingwood General & Marine Hospital (CGMH), a 68‑bed acute care facility in Collingwood, ON, faced high overhead from manually assembling and couriering 100–150 page board packages, rising printing and colour‑graphic costs, confidentiality risks and slow agenda creation. To streamline meeting administration, CGMH selected eScribe Software’s meeting management solution, including the eSCRIBE Meetings iPad app, to centralize and automate agendas and report distribution.

eScribe Software deployed a cloud‑based meeting management platform and iPad app that let multiple staff edit agendas simultaneously, enable pre‑meeting Q&A and annotations, and restrict access to confidential materials. The hospital cut an estimated 8 hours of collating per meeting, eliminated printing costs for eScribe‑managed meetings, reduced paper use, improved security and sped up meeting preparation and execution — about 40% of the hospital’s 70 annual meetings now use the solution.
