Client Business Description

Hospice & Community Care is a non-profit agency that provides personalized care and comfort to help patients and families live better with serious illnesses through the end of life. It also offers grief support to anyone that needs it within the community.

The client has been in business for the past 42 years. They spent months vetting a solution to meet their multiple needs under one umbrella. Ultimately, it was a Google search and a little bit of research that brought them to Docsvault.

Challenges

The client needed software that could meet their multiple needs:

  • Document management to replace their  mountains of paper
  • Workflow management to handle review cycles of their forms and policies,
  • Digital signature capabilities so they can get documents signed from the other side of the country.

The client wanted to digitize and store crucial documents, but this was not possible due to the lack of a centralized document management system. It was difficult for them to get the necessary signatures for patients with signatories in another state. Other challenges the client was facing included:

  • There was a lack of a centralized and shared document repository.
  • Maintaining an archive of documents was challenging.
  • Reviewing forms and policies was time-consuming.
  • External audit tracking was a big hassle.
  • The remote signature collection was a tricky affair.
  • Document were done through spreadsheets, which was quite time-intensive.
  • Workflow management was not attainable.
  • There was no option for data recovery after a natural disaster such as fire, flood, or other catastrophic events such as theft.
  • Paper documents were occupying a lot of physical space, and the client was bearing the massive cost of paper.

Docsvault’s versatility exceeded its competitors – other products would do some of what Docsvault can handle, but not all of it. On top of that, Docsvault is reasonably priced for what it can do.
