Case Study: CSU Health Network achieves a one-year reduction in AAAHC accreditation prep time and $139K in savings with PowerDMS

CSU Health Network - Customer Case Study

Colorado State University (CSU) Health Network, which operates a student health center serving more than 16,000 patients annually, faced a daunting AAAHC accreditation cycle that previously required locating thousands of documents, printing and compiling binders, and an 18‑month prep process that strained staff and resources.

By implementing PowerDMS — uploading documents to a cloud-based system, building the AAAHC assessment electronically, and giving assessors remote access before the visit — CSU cut prep time from 18 to 6 months (saving about a year), reduced onsite workload and stress, and saved over $139,000 in staffing and supply costs (including the software), while improving policy, training, and accreditation management with mobile access.
