Edgerton Hospital has been serving its community since 1920 and today operates across three locations in Wisconsin. Edgerton has made award-worthy strides in emergency care, diagnostic imaging, rehabilitation, and surgery, receiving accolades such as the 2021 HD Nursing Award for Organizational Excellence.
CEO Marc Augsbuger began seeking board management software that would better support the board of directors, while also solving the antiquated pain points of:
When comparing several board management software options, the BoardWorks portal came out on top due to several reasons:
Since this would be Edgerton Hospital’s first board portal, it was important for the team to select easy-to-use software. The BoardWorks portal offers simple navigation which allowed board members to easily become familiar with the portal and its features. Edgerton’s CEO praised BoardWorks noting, “the platform is extremely easy to navigate and use.”
The BoardWorks team offers in-depth training for new clients including group and one-to-one sessions for both directors and administrators. Edgerton Hospital’s CEO applauded the portal support as “thorough and in-depth,” also noting that training times were flexible to suit varying schedules.
The BoardWorks portal offers high-value functionality at an affordable price. For a smaller hospital aiming to keep costs under control, it was a no-brainer for Edgerton to select a solution that comes in at a competitive price and reduces spending.
Edgerton Hospital has seen tremendous benefits since implementing the BoardWorks portal, including the following:
The hospital has eliminated printing costs for posting board books of around 50 pages for 12 board members, 10 times per year.
Alongside decreasing printing costs, switching to BoardWorks has helped reduce the hospital’s carbon footprint and paper consumption.
The BoardWorks Portal provides improved security for safeguarding board documents and information. Everything is contained within the BoardWorks portal, so emails and documents are more secure, which reduces the chance of bad actors gaining access to sensitive information.
Edgerton Hospital’s Board of Directors enjoy having all historical data in one place because they can find specific documents through the BoardWorks portal's search functionality and are extremely complimentary of the software.
“This is a product that is very applicable to small and large organizations. It can work for anyone. The price point works out so well that there's no reason that other boards shouldn't consider it.”
