Case Study
CU Denver Nursing: Scaling Success with InPlace Software
November, 2024
Outcomes
Achieved a 30% growth in both undergraduate and graduate nursing program placements while maintaining the same level of administrative staffing.
Streamlined compliance, simplifying accreditation processes significantly.
Advanced their goal to automate administrative tasks for placements, optimizing resource efficiency.
The Situation
Prior to switching to InPlace Software, CU Denver Nursing was using a restrictive and outdated system that lacked essential features needed as their programs grew. Things such as reporting customization or managing different placement processes weren’t possible. These limitations created data loss risks, administrative bottlenecks, and hindered the college’s ability to handle increasing student numbers. Essential reporting and compliance management became overly time-consuming, obstructing scalability and compliance effectiveness.
University of Colorado - Denver Nursing
CU Nursing is the top-ranked BS in Nursing program in Colorado. As the birthplace of the nurse practitioner program, CU Nursing boasts a reputation as a leader and pioneer in nursing education. The college offers a full spectrum of programs (BS, MS, DNP, PhD) with in-person, online, and hybrid options, all accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
“The usability and control [on our end] has been great. Even with ad-hoc placements, the process is smooth and time-efficient. And our level of access [as admins] makes troubleshooting and managing placements so much easier.”
– Krista Neu, MHA, Graduate Placements & Data Manager, College of Nursing, University of Colorado – Denver
Impact
The constraints of the prior system led to a reliance on manual, repetitive tasks, such as data gathering and compliance reporting, which placed undue strain on administrative staff. This bottleneck limited CU Nursing’s ability to manage student placements at scale efficiently and constrained the growth potential of both undergraduate and graduate programs.
Resolution to Scale
With InPlace Software, CU Nursing streamlined complex placement needs for both graduate and undergraduate programs effectively. The new system supported ad-hoc and bulk placements, simplified onboarding processes, and allowed for greater control over data and placements. The experiential learning team, led by Krista Neu, noted substantial time savings and operational improvements, ensuring smoother placement cycles and higher administrative efficiency.
