Paying attention to change is a necessary action for every business and program that wishes to grow and remain viable. In spite of the wish, it does not always become so, at least not without effort to observe trends, track progress and plan for future growth. How though, does a small rehabilitation program on a limited budget do this? For the corporate world where money flows freely, where business and financial talent is
easily recruited and where software is constantly being developed for any conceivable purpose, these tasks are not so difficult. However, for Person Industries, the effort had become quite daunting.
"Where program managers and administrative staff may have pulled data from several spreadsheets in the past, they are now able to print one report in PATC or run
one query."

PI needed a means to track basic data on people employed in the production department and in our programs of service. This was easy enough for basic payroll software to handle. But what if there was also a need to track NCSNAP and Target Population scores that are attached to expiration dates, as well as, the many authorizations, both with beginning and ending dates for each person? Add to that, the community inclusion experiences for each person and any job placement details and/or outcomes. What about tracking incidents and accidents? And leave, yes, we had to track any Family and Medical leave as well as any personal leave granted by PI. And for those employees who are paid on a piece rated basis, we needed a way to track their time studies, both the current rate and due dates for new rates.
