Case Study: Georgia Southern University Health Services streamlines accreditation and compliance with PowerDMS

Georgia Southern University Health Services cuts AAAHC self-assessment updates from months to 2 weeks with PowerDMS

Georgia Southern University Health Services faced a significant challenge in managing its AAAHC accreditation and internal compliance. The quality compliance officer, Kim Packer, struggled with a manual, paper-based system for policy distribution, staff training, and tracking against accreditation standards, which was extremely time-consuming and inefficient.

By implementing the PowerDMS software, the health services center streamlined its entire compliance process. PowerDMS provided a centralized platform for policy management with electronic signatures, automated training and testing with reminders, and a direct way to map policies to AAAHC standards. The solution saved massive amounts of time, with one notable result being the ability to update a full self-assessment for accreditation in just two weeks instead of months.
