We are offering a powerhouse of a program that offers the following line up:

Roundtable Discussion:  Improve your on-site inspection processes on-site by discussing the various processes inspectors use to document findings in a report writing software.

Topics will include the on-site inspection process, types of tools used to record and document findings such as a tablet, phone, notepad etc.; how to organize and document defects within one system and process and procedure onsite and off site too.

Facilitator: John Gallagher, ASHI-NE Education Committee Member

Report Writing and the Use of Scribeware:  During this program, you will be encouraged to re-think how you document and write about the defects found on an inspection. Also, how to break out of the mold that many inspection writing software programs create and write a report that will make sense to the consumer.

Topics will include how to report on a system with multiple defects; how to avoid being redundant and to inform a client in a logical manner of the defects discovered; how to break the frame work of many report writing software programs and deliver a report that reads coherently and consistently. Our presenter will compare and contrast popular report writing software with Scribeware.
