AIRS Webinar - Database Thriller: Sharing Lessons Learned & Other Stuff On Our Road To a Thrilling Database
- Registration Closed
Representatives of the Houston Resource Guardian Team will present the innovative processes developed over the past year to bring 3 regional databases from an average verification rate of 65% on April 1, 2019 to a standard 98% on June 30, 2019 which continues as our standard through today. This special will include the systematic and philosophical changes made on how to share the workload of verifying agencies every 6 months, increasing the addition rate of new services, improving quality and developing a training process for new team members.
