Results-Based Features
DATA IN
Persimmony provides its First 5 clients with an easy-to-use online interface, a robust SQL back-end database and rich programming to marry the two so that our customers have:
- An extremely user-friendly interface for inputting data
- ‘Smart Screen’ technology that prohibits getting lost in the application because you stay on one screen
- Data fields that only appear if data entry is required
- ‘Smart fields’ to ensure proper data is entered
- Fully customizable data fields and customizable drop-down menus that populate with preset values saving valuable data entry time and eliminating the great majority of data entry typos
- Intelligent programming so the data fields auto-calculate (age, consent expiration, dates, etc.) to assure data integrity and reduce data entry
- Keyboard tabs and/or mouse activated data entry
FULL SETUP CONTROL
Our intuitive Setup Screen allows users to independently change local variables and add an unlimited number of surveys, all ‘on the fly.’ Whether on your laptop, hand-held, or mobile phone’s PDA, Persimmony’s online interface provides its users with a secure online data management system that can be easily accessed at the point of service.
UNLIMITED DATA COLLECTION TOOLS
Authorized users can easily and independently create and use an unlimited number of data collection tools whether they are program-specific custom questionnaires or standard survey tools used by all. Persimmony’s easy-to-use survey-generator in the application’s Setup Module is just as easy to use as any of the other Persimmony data screens on the front end of the application. Users are provided a wide variety of survey item types to select from so users can quickly ‘build their own’ survey. The Setup interface also allows organizations to customize the terminology of any of the (hundreds of) data field labels and load any of the drop-down menus with Commission-approved choices.
SCANABLE INTERFACES
To help reduce the burden of data entry Persimmony has scoped and developed scanable interfaces for other clients and is keenly interested in working with organizations to increase the use of Scan-Tron data collection forms. Scan-Tron technology greatly decreases data entry time and significantly increases data entry accuracy without changing the interview processes.
DATA OUT
From client management to aggregate data to outcomes analysis, Persimmony provides its clients with an unlimited number of reports that cross tabulate data against any field within the database, including any of the core demographic elements. If there is not a standard report in the system library that meets your needs, Persimmony will built it for no additional cost.
- Real-time access to point-and-click data reports (tables, graphs and GIS maps) across all levels of the application 24-hours every day
- Milestone and participant-level reports - assist in data collection and data quality assurance
- Interactive data normalization reports to highlight data entry errors as well as other data integrity errors
- All Persimmony reports can be run without needing any special technical knowledge and can be viewed online or exported to save or print in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Adobe PDF, Snapshot or an Image file at any time (as well as downloads for SPSS and SQL)
- Unlike other data systems where users have to continually scroll side bars for filtering options, Persimmony provides easy to use drop-down filters within a single pane so that users can customize any report using drop-down filters that refine and narrow selected reports
ALERTS REMINDERS AND AUTOMATED E-MAIL
Persimmony clients can configure an unlimited number of automated e-mail communiqués that can be sent to customized distribution lists (to all users or selected system users) and an unlimited number of system alerts and reminder reports can be automatically generated and then e-mailed so that data collection tasks (surveys due) can be completed on time.
CONTENT MANAGEMENT
The Persimmony database application provides a complete content management system so important documents can be uploaded, viewed and accessed online. Contracts, insurance forms, and any other important contract documents specific to each program can be stored electronically within Persimmony.
REPORTS
Persimmony provides an unlimited number of reports that cross tabulate data against any field within the database, including any of the core demographic elements. That is the power of Persimmony. We will build reports that can be run across programs working on common initiatives as well as across all programs; allowing the most current data to be pulled into reports, charts, pivot tables, or GIS maps with drill downs to specific issues by outcome area.
