Q-Pulse Design & Installation Considerations
• Module use– Occurrence Reporting– Audit/Assessment– CA/PA– Documents
• Hosted or firewalled servers
• Shared workstations, individual computer access or both
• Audience differences
• iPad usage and who will use it
• Roll out (stepped or blanket)

Transition (Paper to Pixels)
• Things to consider when planning the transition– Workforce capability– What does employee engagement look like
• What is the pulse of the people…pun intended– Employee-base opportunity and availability to access the
program/web– Ease of use for your predominant population
• Largely computer friendly or limited computer knowledge

Managing the Information Bow Wave
• Prepare your teams– That people will test your system with seemingly minor/irrelevant
reports• Act anyway…builds system confidence
– Talk to others if it doesn’t work– Once confidence is gained by the masses, reporting rate will double
• Exercise your process vigorously at first and find your balance– Stabilize and manage program/employee expectations
• Give feedback to the reporter at every opportunity if your process and population supports it– Some may not elect to have emails at every status change
