Your member records are a valuable resource. Check out these four ways your member records can be empowering.

Digitize and Travel Light

New software systems enable you to safely and compliantly collect emergency medical information and have it ready anywhere, anytime. For example, you can collect one medical form for your camp. If you have an extra activity off-site for a select group, there is no need to sort through the files and/or transfer them to someone else. If they’re in the system, they’ll have access instantly.

Share Through Integration

If your management system integrates with your emergency medical system, you could be a step ahead of the game. Having your collected information added to your recreation management system enables you to have a single source of truth and make smarter decisions.

Think Beyond Medical Information and Contacts

Just because it’s an emergency medical form doesn’t mean you’re limited to collecting and storing medical and contact information. If you can customize your forms, think outside of the box. Use the opportunity to collect information you might need later. This can streamline processes down the road.

Enable Self-Serve for Quick and Accurate Information

When information needs to be added or updated, skipping the middleman (aka, you and your staff) is much appreciated. “The ability for parents to go in and make changes in real time is great,” says Ryan Amato, children’s program manager, Prince William County Government.

Look for opportunities to streamline. Your staff and patrons will both thank you.
