Case Study: English Institute of Sport streamlines athlete health management with Smartsheet

English Institute of Sport manages 1,100 PCR tests with Smartsheet

The English Institute of Sport (EIS), a governmental sports science and medicine provider, faced the immense challenge of coordinating mandatory PCR testing for over 500 athletes and 600 support staff ahead of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. The process required managing tests at precise intervals across the country, creating a major logistical and reporting hurdle. To streamline this and other health program management, EIS utilized Smartsheet.

Using Smartsheet, the Athlete Health Team created a centralized project plan with Gantt charts, automated reminders, and secure forms to collect and collate all testing data. This provided live access for clinicians and authorities, eliminated errors from scattered documents, and allowed easy form distribution via channels like WhatsApp. The solution ensured the smooth management of 1,100 PCR tests. Smartsheet also enabled secure dashboards for management, detailed permission controls, and integration with Microsoft Teams, boosting overall efficiency and data accuracy for EIS's ongoing athlete health initiatives.
