Niagara Region Public Health

Niagara Region's dashboard features a search bar at the top of the page, place for message notifications, and active plans for the user in an entries list.

About our partner

Niagara Region Public Health (NRPH) is committed to promoting and protecting the health of individuals and communities in the Niagara region. Through proactive health programs, community partnerships, and evidence-based interventions, NRPH plays a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of residents. To enhance their operational efficiency and planning capabilities, NRPH sought a modernized solution that would streamline their program planning processes.

Project drivers

NRPH’s primary motivations for this project included:

  • Optimized Performance & Flexibility: Their previous system was cumbersome, slow, and lacked adaptability.
  • Increased Autonomy: NRPH sought a solution that allowed their teams to manage and update plans without external vendor dependencies.
  • Improved Collaboration & Transparency: Real-time teamwork and enhanced visibility into planning processes were key priorities.
  • Advanced Reporting & Compliance: A need for robust data tracking and reporting tools to support informed decision-making and regulatory compliance.

What we accomplished

Our team at Sandbox Software implemented a modern planning system built on our proprietary Content Management System, Oasis. By repurposing the successful solution developed for SWPH, we provided NRPH with a robust, user-friendly, and adaptable platform that significantly improved their planning, tracking, and reporting capabilities. This solution empowered NRPH staff to manage their plans more effectively, collaborate seamlessly, and make data-driven decisions with ease.

Through our partnership with NRPH, we delivered a tailored, scalable, and efficient planning system that enhances operational effectiveness. By leveraging an already successful solution, NRPH was able to fast-track implementation and start benefiting from a more modern and intuitive platform right away.
