About the Project
The digitization of a data collection tool with an automated database repository and reporting dashboard has provided a for-profit in-home health care service provider the capacity to monitor and assess clients regarding their need for non-medical preventative health care services. Research outcomes diversified service offerings, improved clients’ quality of life, and supported a growing community-based preventative care initiative. The project trained St. Clair College Data Analytics students in an industry-relevant field.
