Challenge

AAPCC was looking for software systems training on their National Poison Data system. The system is used to monitor and track calls to the 60 poison centers in the US to manage and track possible outbreaks and their causes.

Solution

Through a grant, Interactive Advantage developed all of the software systems training for the National Poison Data system (NPDS). The NPDS is used to collect and manage all of the poison center calls from the 60 poison centers in the US. 

Results

Interactive Advantage created all of the training for the NPDS system and it was deployed amongst all 60 poison centers in the US to adequately train AAPCC staff at the centers to be able to recognize an outbreak or a trend and make necessary next steps. Interactive Advantage was also responsible for creating their first and only learning management system called the AAPCC training center that they still use to this day.
