The Client
Large state agency responsible for healthcare and social services record-keeping and providing vital statistics, population records, and healthcare emergency management.
The Problem
The client needed to replace a legacy vital records registrar system to make it more stable and resilient to unplanned down time.
The Solution
Loblolly managed gathering business and system requirements to build a statement of work for a Request for Proposal (RFP) , assisted the client in selecting a vendor, and customized an off-the-shelf product. Loblolly managed the migration of legacy data to the new system and managed the user acceptance testing (UAT) and post go-live issues. Worked with the client to produce dashboards and data visualizations used to evaluate and analyze internal vital statistic data.
