Overview
St John Ambulance provide a range of services to the community including the coordination of the St John transport service, a social inclusion and security phone service (Silvercord) and a hospital visitation service. Each of these services is staffed by a combination of volunteers and St John staff members who need to coordinate the activities of volunteers with the needs of clients.
Zeroseven analysed the existing separate Access databases and
other process documents used to run each service, interviewed key
operational staff and then designed a single web-based solution to
run all three services. Through this new system, St John staff
manage 2000 volunteers, 10 000 clients, over 100 trips a day,
150 telephone schedules a day, 500 hospital schedules, drivers,
vehicles, and more, through one intuitive interface. There is
extensive reporting generation (including HACC reporting) and a log
to track user activity. By providing St John Qld with a database to
match their needs, St John Qld are able to provide a better service
for clients, volunteers and the community.
Solution
An important factor in managing community services such as the St John transport, Silvercord and hospital visitation service, is the time needed for staff to manage and schedule volunteers for these services.
With the new database, staff not only save time during the scheduling process, the management of client and volunteer details has become easier and vital information can be easily found in the system, whether it be via the client or volunteer search or overview screens for each of the three services.
Results
Reporting on the services has also been made easier with detailed information being captured and custom reports generated for internal use and external reporting.
