Project Scope
With a state audit looming for Virginia Beach’s Health and Human Services division, it was imperative that new procedures be established to meet the needs of a rapidly growing city.
DOMA has developed 18 unique workflows for the 150+ city of Virginia Beach users.
DOMA DX has helped Virginia Beach Health and Human Services Department process over 112,200 case file records.
DOMA has helped the city of Virginia Beach expedite its records processing time from over a month to mere hours.
Project Story
The city of Virginia Beach’s Health and Human Services (HHS) department was facing compliance challenges and major fulfillment delays due to an outdated records management process. The Virginia Beach HHS department was manually sorting documents, records requests, and other forms into boxes for later processing. This system was almost entirely dependent on manual labor to sort, scan, and validate each document and could take up to a month for each request to be processed.
DOMA jump-started our engagement with Virginia Beach with an initial records scanning project. This helped alleviate the current backlog of requests so the city could maintain compliance with Virginia’s Financial Assistance Division (FAD).
After scanning was complete, DOMA helped the city of Virginia Beach to establish a Digital Mailroom solution. Incoming analog records are now routed to a scanning crew who quickly uploads the documents into DOMA DX allowing for enterprise-wide access. DOMA’s development team created custom workflows that intelligently route each document to the appropriate staff member for validation and further action.
