Infection Control Practices for Hearing Testing
2020 will be etched in our minds for decades to come. Events related to Covid-19 have made infection control an even more important consideration for your employees, and your Hearing Conservation Program (HCP). There are several advantages to portable, tablet-based testing equipment over conventional approaches. Most notable is the ability to enable hearing testing all while adhering to physical distancing practices.

Tips for Preparing to Import Data Into the SHOEBOX Portal
No matter what type of technology you purchase for your organization, very frequently, there’s a milestone on the path to going live that always trips you up. In many cases, it is dealing with data. Often this is the process of gathering corporate data of some type and organizing it into a structured format for the purpose of loading it into your new software tool. Sounds simple and straightforward? It should be, but often is a task that slows down the onboarding process, or worse, causes significant delays.
