Case Study: University of Pittsburgh streamlines document review with Exxat APPROVE

Streamlining the Document Review Process

The University of Pittsburgh’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program was struggling to manage student compliance document approvals, facing frequent rejections, student complaints, and slow turnaround times from its existing provider. Already using Exxat STEPS, the school needed a simpler, more modern way to collect, review, and approve required documents without adding extra work for staff or students.

To solve this, the University of Pittsburgh implemented Exxat APPROVE from Exxat to handle document review, notifications, reminders, reporting, and ongoing compliance monitoring in one system. The solution streamlined the approval workflow, reduced manual work for Student Health Services, and sped up responses to students’ questions. While the case study does not provide hard metrics, it reports that Exxat APPROVE made the process “manageable and efficient” and saved hours of work each year.
