American College of Healthcare Sciences
Selects TopSchool to Better Manage Information Across the Entire
Student Lifecycle
TopSchool's Robust Reporting Suite Includes
DETC Reports Critical for ACHS Accreditation
The American College of Healthcare Sciences (ACHS) has selected
TopSchool as its student lifecycle management (SLM) system,
enabling ACHS to easily track and report on student information
from prospect to placement. ACHS, which is accredited by the
Distance Education Training Council (DETC), will be able to easily
create their own custom reports and leverage critical DETC reports
using TopViewTM, TopSchool's intelligent reporting
suite.
"We like the fact that TopSchool's system is built solely for
higher education," said Dorene Petersen, President of ACHS. "The
CRM, SIS, and reporting tools are all integrated, allowing us to
automate many of our processes. The system is also easy to
use - its flexibility will allow us to configure it on our own as
our needs evolve."
"One major asset of the TopSchool SLM system is the reporting
functionality," noted Erika Yigzaw, Senior Vice President of ACHS
and Chair of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC)
Technology Committee. "We rely on reports for so much of what
we do, and with TopSchool, we can pull data from any field in the
system to automatically create our own reports or DETC reports,
both of which are critical for program improvement and
accreditation compliance. Not only does this assist us in complying
with accreditation standards, but it also allows us to easily and
quickly prove compliance, both internally and for visiting
accrediting teams."
TopSchool's SLM is delivered in a Software-as-a-Service model,
and goes beyond the capabilities of a traditional student
information system (SIS). It provides the portal for
prospective students to learn about ACHS's programs, the customer
relationship management (CRM) system to manage prospects through
admission, the SIS to track and manage the institution's students
from enrollment through program completion, and finally, a
reporting suite to measure outcomes and improve offerings.
Additionally, the system easily integrates with other third party
applications, such as a school's LMS.
"ACHS is focused on providing its students with the highest
quality educational experience from start to finish," said Matthew
Schnittman, President and CEO of TopSchool. "Our system
allows ACHS to easily manage data throughout the student lifecycle,
telling them when, where and how students can be most
successful. Additionally, by creating easy access to standard
DETC reports, ACHS can focus its attention on meeting the needs of
its students, while having peace of mind it is meeting its
accreditation needs as well."
ACHS is recognized as an industry leader in holistic health
education worldwide. ACHS offers its students flexible online
programs which are taught by highly qualified faculty and includes
a diverse student body. Students of ACHS have the
opportunity to earn online Masters and Associates degrees, as well
as Graduate level certificates. Graduates of ACHS go on to
become Wellness Coaches, Holistic Nutrition Consultants, Holistic
Health Practitioners, Master Herbalists or Registered
Aromatherapists.
