COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 21, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PRIVIT, the leading provider of automated Pre-participation Physical Examination (PPE) services, announced that the University of Cincinnati Athletics (UC Athletics) renewed a multi-year agreement with PRIVIT. UC Athletics will continue to leverage PRIVIT in their leadership as a Division I university focused on improving the sporting experience for athletes and others.
Replacing a manual, time-consuming and inconsistent process for PPE, PRIVIT provides UC Athletics a secure solution for collecting, processing, and managing protected health information about athletes. This next-generation solution provides easy completion tracking giving UC Athletics visibility into where their athletes are in the process of completing required pre-participation forms.
“PRIVIT has revolutionized the way we collect our athlete’s health information, and the way we manage our PPE process at the University of Cincinnati. PRIVIT saves us hours in the PPE process by reducing the workload our sports medicine department faces each year when collecting and managing the multiple documents needed from each athlete. The solutions provided by PRIVIT helps our department become more efficient and allows us a more comprehensive and accurate collection of athlete health information,” said Aaron Himmler, AT, MS, Assistant Athletic Director of Sports Medicine (Football), University of Cincinnati Athletic Department. “In addition, PRIVIT has provided us the tools to audit the completion status of required forms needed from athletes to guarantee compliance with our participation policies.”
“For the past three years, UC Athletics has been a valued client. Using PRIVIT made sense for UC Athletics because the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) made our solution the legal standard of care for athletes in the high school market. Wth the growing adoption of PRIVIT throughout Ohio high schools, any graduating high school seniors participating in UC Athletics will have a head start on their health history,” said Chris Goodwin, Chairman and CEO of PRIVIT. “For high school students and their parents, PRIVIT provides peace of mind that the safety of the student athlete is guarded by an advanced system for collecting and managing health information.”
Throughout North America, colleges and universities are leveraging PRIVIT to drive compliance and streamline processes within their athletic departments; some of which include, Coastal Carolina University, Fanshawe College, Stanford University, University of British Columbia, University of Calgary, University of Florida, and University of Southern Maine.
