McClain-Grady County EMS (MGC EMS) saves lives, responding to thousands of ambulance calls annually. But despite their heroic efforts, manual administrative processes were draining their resources.
We partnered with MGC EMS to create a time- and cost-saving website to empower their team to focus on their mission of saving lives.
The Challenge: Overburdened Heroes with Limited Resources
Their challenges included:
- Manual Processes: Billing and employment applications were handled manually, consuming valuable time and resources.
- Outdated Systems: Their existing website and processes weren’t mobile-friendly, digitized or automated, which added stress to their operations and lowered their efficiency.
- Limited Budget: A smaller budget for administrative and marketing work prevented outsourcing or hiring additional staff. They needed a solution that their internal team could manage.
- Compliance Needs: Any new system needed to maintain HIPAA compliance while collecting sensitive personal and payment information.
The Solution: A Lean, User-Friendly Digital Transformation
We designed a custom website and custom forms to address MGC EMS’s needs while staying within their budget and ensuring long-term usability.
1. Strategic Planning for Efficiency
We collaborated with MGC EMS’s leadership to understand their operational goals and resource constraints. We focused on their most important users and prioritized simplicity, automation, and user experience, especially for patients paying online and potential new hires looking to apply online.
2. Mobile-Optimized WordPress Website
We built a modern, mobile-responsive website on WordPress, chosen for its cost-effectiveness and ease of use. The platform allowed MGC EMS’s team to update content effortlessly while ensuring compatibility with advanced technologies for billing, membership, and hiring processes.
3. Custom Forms for Streamlined Operations
To digitize and automate their processes, we integrated new forms technology into the website. These forms maintained HIPAA compliance while securely collecting personal and payment information.
- Billing: Simplified payment collection and communications to improve cash flow and convenience.
- Membership Applications: Streamlined the application process for community members.
- Hiring: Automated job application submissions to reduce recruitment tasks and improve record keeping.
The new billing form enabled customers to submit payment online and provided automatic payment notifications to both the administrator and the user.
Plus, a new online employment application made it easier both for potential new hires to submit an application and for the MGC team to improve and streamline their recruitment record-keeping.
The Results: Time Savings and Operational Efficiency
Within two months of launching the new website and systems, MGC EMS saw transformative results:
- Increased Digital Transactions: Over 300 new digital transactions were processed.
- Significant Revenue Growth: The system facilitated more than $52,000 in digital payments, improving ease of payment for customers and speed of cash flow for MGC EMS.
- Time Savings: Automating processes eliminated tedious manual tasks, freeing the team to focus on their life-saving mission.
- Enhanced Usability: The WordPress platform and custom forms empowered the internal team to manage operations efficiently without additional hires.
