Allied Health Institute Selects TopSchool System to Centrally Manage Student Information

Denver, CO - May 5, 2010 - Allied Health Institute (AHI) has selected the TopSchool Student Lifecycle Management (SLM) system to more efficiently track and report on online student information in order to better manage the organization and plan for growth.  The school is migrating data from two separate student information systems to TopSchool, thereby simplifying and streamlining its data management.

"As our programs continue to grow, we are dealing with more and more important student data - neither of our cumbersome systems had the capability to support our needs, plus we were spending far too much time entering data twice," said Jennifer Anglin, president of Allied Health Institute.  "TopSchool takes a completely different approach - the system is intuitive and easy to use, and because it centrally manages data across the entire student lifecycle, it will allow us to increase our operational efficiencies."

Anglin continued, "We are also very impressed with TopSchool's reporting capabilities.  The system automatically pulls the reports we need, giving us better insight into our students, programs and results so we can more effectively grow and meet student needs."

In addition to managing student information, AHI will be able to increase student support services using TopSchool's SLM.  The system will help generate forms, print and send invoices, and allow students to pay online.

TopSchool's SLM solution 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 Allied Health Institute'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, including Allied Health's learning management system, Blackboard Learn - ANGEL Edition.

"We are seeing a strong trend in schools simply outgrowing the capabilities of their existing SIS, and these schools just can't accomplish their growth objectives without a more scalable system," said Matthew Schnittman, president and CEO of TopSchool.  "AHI is delivering in-demand healthcare programs that are helping students succeed professionally.  It is critical that AHI has the data management and reporting functionality at their fingertips to help them further evolve their offerings so even more students can benefit from these programs."

Allied Health Institute, which is accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools, offers online diploma programs in health careers.  Diploma programs include Medical Assistant, Medical Office Assistant, Medical Coding Specialist, Phlebotomy Technician, Home Health Aide, Massage Therapy, and Electrocardiograph Technician.  Additionally, courses that require clinical training are completed in various types of medical facilities by utilizing professionals such as physicians, physician assistants, nurses, or certified/registered medical assistants and EKG technicians.
