currently
6. Our Key Message
EHS software is

edge compliance
programs
7. Poll Question: Why have you
not switched to a compliance
software program?
a) Never thought about it
b) We like what we do now

8. You Might Be Thinking
Most federal and
state agencies
still need paper
copies
Cost is too high
for what we want
We are OK
doing what we
do now
Software
programs add
time don’t take
time away
9. Do I Need Compliance Software?
EHS
Programs
Inspection tools

Sustainable
Overall
Institution
Compliance
Healthcare: EOC

Lab Audits
Life Sciences: FDA
approval guidelines
Any program
needing to
track metrics
Paper copies not
useful anymore
Need to show
quickly to a
regulator
Internal tracking
and trending of
metrics (Potentially
PI/KPI’s)
18. “Hello, my name is
John Smith from the

25. • What about trending?
• Improvements based on
lagging indicators!
• Can lagging indicators turn
into leading indicators?
• Overall efficiency of data
in/data out
Paper
is OK
but…
Reminder!

30. This Is Why
We’re Different
What
Others Say
We have been working with our
program in this manner for years, we
don’t need to change it.
Those programs cost way too much
and we cannot afford it.
Unless the program offers everything
we need, I don’t want to go with it.
What We
Say Instead
This is an innovative technology that
can drive efficiency in your program.
Many programs can offer
customizable options to fit budgetary
needs in almost any institution.
Get a program that will fit many of
your needs and build from it. Discuss
future options with a representative
and customizable options.
38. Action Plan
Evaluate all the different
surveys, inspections, audits
completed
Start small – don’t go after
the entire picture first!
How efficient can you
become?
Budget…Budget…Budget
