The Project

Principal investigators and a national nonprofit association that serves health departments were seeking to enhance their volunteer survey system and advance the knowledge of public health preparedness. The existing tool the team had was not meeting their research needs. As a result, they approached Aciron Consulting to reconstruct an online toolkit that would assess the effectiveness of engaging volunteers in public health events.

Our Approach

Aciron conducted brainstorming sessions to capture and thoroughly understand the client’s needs and goals. Then, Aciron analyzed project requirements, the practicality of the existing system, and identified improvement areas. Aciron presented a strategy for the development and design of a new online survey system and toolkit that would facilitate effective gathering and analysis of research data. Throughout the engagement, Aciron personnel answered questions, offered suggestions, and continuously discussed the project with the client to make sure their needs were fulfilled.

The Solution

Aciron developed a user-friendly system to collect, analyze, and report research data. The system allowed users to complete custom questionnaires. The system’s automated reporting allows administrators to analyze and generate real-time custom reports. In addition, administrators have the ability to log into the system to view and filter survey data according to custom variables. The tool is being used as a vital component of both researchers’ investigation into public health preparedness and by public health practitioners. The tool has been successful in evaluating the effectiveness of engaging volunteers in public health activities.
