Case Study: The Hospital for Sick Children achieves streamlined collaboration and improved efficiency with PBWorks

Sickkids - Customer Case Study

The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), a leading pediatric research and care centre affiliated with the University of Toronto, needed a better way to coordinate multi-centre educational events that occurred repeatedly across multiple healthcare facilities. Relying on email attachments became cumbersome and a simple cloud file share lacked the communication, versioning and workspace customization required to manage files, meeting minutes and ongoing collaboration.

SickKids implemented PBworks as a centralized, customizable workspace that combined file management, meeting minutes, communication tools, configurable notifications and role-based access. Rollout was simple (email invitations) and the result was noticeably improved efficiency and communication—staff describe PBworks as a great, continually improving tool.
