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Prior to switching to InPlace Software, CU Denver Nursing was using a restrictive and outdated system that lacked essential features needed as their programs grew.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).

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.

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.
