Thanks to the data-driven design of the HES application, each client has total control over the types of facilities they would like to inspect and the criteria used to perform those inspections. This means that if your mandate changes in the future and you need to expand your inspection program areas, the HES application can accommodate the changes without requiring any programming, additional development costs, or increased maintenance fees. Current clients use the HES application to inspect a number of different types of facilities including, but not limited to: Adult Care facilities, Animal facilities, Aquatic facilities, Child Care facilities, Food Services facilities, Food Store facilities, Food Warehouse facilities, Housing facilities, Institutions, Land Use, Personal Services facilities, Recreational facilities, Sewage facilities, Summer Camps, Tobacco facilities, Waste Management facilities, Water Supplies, Work Camps, etc. The only constraints to the number of different types of facilities you can inspect are disk space and time. Each one of the Facility Categories (sometimes referred to as Program Areas or Service Areas) listed above can be configured independently of every other Facility Category to use its own set of criteria for Inherent Risk Assessment, Observational (Infraction) Categories, Compliance Issues, Actions Taken as a result of the inspection, and Canned Comments for selection during the inspection process. The inherent risk model incorporates an optional user-defined weighting scheme for those clients who want to allow the application to automatically generate values based on their own selection criteria. The facility risk management section can even be used to track a combination of weighted risk factors and non-weighted factors. This option has been implemented by several clients and is used for informational purposes: How many of our food facilities serve shellfish? The answer to this question is just a click away. The HES application has a very robust Facilities Management module. This module tracks all historical facility data including owner and operator changes (actually, any number of relevant contacts can be tracked at the facility level), facility name changes, GPS coordinates, site and mailing address information, etc. This allows the client to search for facilities based on either current or historical information. The Core Module is also home to the multi-tiered Security system, the Service Provider sub-system, the permits and licenses sub-system, the Data Transfer wizard (for use in synchronizing the field data with the server data), the Location Hierarchy sub-system (a multi-tired hierarchy that allows facilities to be group by physical location), and an extremely powerful reporting engine with almost 200 existing reports.
