Case Study: University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine achieves 100% faculty-evaluation compliance and saves hundreds of thousands of hours with Nintex

Digital solution helps boost teaching, clinical care, research

The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine faced a cumbersome, paper-based faculty evaluation process—2,000 annual, 10‑page forms managed by a full‑time employee—with no way to track incomplete submissions, perform audits, or analyze institutional trends. This manual system ate up faculty and staff time and provided no visibility into performance data needed to improve teaching, clinical care, and research.

Using Nintex Workflow, Nintex Forms and Nintex Sign (powered by Adobe Sign) integrated with the school’s SharePoint portal, the team automated form generation, role‑based routing, digital signatures and audit trails in about six weeks. The solution delivers automated reporting and exception handling, brought compliance to 100%, saved faculty hundreds of thousands of hours, freed staff for higher‑value work, and provided the transparency and analytics to improve education, clinical practice and research.
