The Township of King Utilizes Upanup to Simplify Online Services, Making Navigating Municipal Information a Breeze

Published

on

With over one million online visitors a year, the Township’s websites needed to be accessible and easy for residents to use. Upanup answered that call.

VICTORIA, BC, July 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Township of King, located in the Greater Toronto Area, is a diverse and prosperous community that is home to 29 thousand residents. Its previous municipal website and King Township Public Library website needed to be updated to improve content management, consistency, navigation, and online services for the residents of this growing community.

We now have a strong online presence, improved searchability, and many self-serve functionalities that lets the community connect and do business with us anytime.

The Township of King chose Upanup to create an innovative redesign for both websites in a way that was intuitive to their important audiences and optimized access to services. In addition to the Township and library website, the Township has additional websites for the Cold Creek Conservation Area and King Heritage & Cultural Centre that required a redesign and new website creation. Upanup delivered and ensured those websites shared common branding elements with the Township to clearly identify they were affiliated sites.

The King Township website acts as a central source of information for commonly used links. To encourage users to perform as many self-service options online as possible Upanup integrated their website with their chosen CRM system and Forms Portal that is connected to their payment processor, making the process simple for users and manageable for their internal team. The improved websites have been well received by their internal and public users. An example of efficiencies gained for the Township is when an event needs to appear on multiple websites, the sites are connected in a way that allows the Township to simply update it in one spot for that change to appear across all connected websites.

The improved King Township website, king.ca, features include:

    Modern design    Easy navigation    Refreshed content    Improved functionality

“As a municipal leader in digital transformation, King Township is pleased with the results of its redesigned website,” said Mayor Steve Pellegrini, King Township. “We now have a strong online presence, improved searchability, and many self-serve functionalities that lets the community connect and do business with us anytime. I always encourage everyone to find all the latest and greatest content about the Township by visiting king.ca. Our website is now easy to navigate and serves our Township and the public the way we envisioned.”

Here is a list of case studies from municipalities and utilities that Upanup has collaborated with to offer better services for their users. For more information visit https://www.upanup.com/.

By

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Global Ultrasound Institute (GUSI) is proud to announce the launch of the GUSI Fellowships Platform, an innovative online platform designed to empower learners around the world to achieve confidence and competency in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). With a holistic, device-independent approach that includes comprehensive evidence-based education, personalized mentorship from world-class POCUS educators, detailed scan review feedback, quantitative assessments, and CME certification, GUSI is setting a new standard in POCUS education.

“GUSI’s online didactics are the best that I have seen. And what I like most about the fellowship were the 1:1 sessions and being able to interact with GUSI expert faculty who have many years of experience in POCUS. And you get to pick their brains and they get to instruct you 1:1. I have used the training I received from GUSI to do much more POCUS clinically and further impact my patients lives.”

Dr. James Wilcox,
Assistant POCUS Director, Indiana University School of Medicine
Adjunct Professor and Assistant Professor of Medicine

“Our mission at GUSI is to democratize access to high-quality ultrasound training,” said Dr. Kevin Bergman and Dr. Mena Ramos, Co-CEOs of Global Ultrasound Institute. “The GUSI Fellowships Platform enables learners from diverse backgrounds to enhance their skills in a supportive, flexible environment, making it easier than ever to reach their POCUS goals.”

With training options covering 38 different scan types, learners can expect personalized 1:1 mentorship with expert POCUS educators who provide timely feedback on practice scans.

“The GUSI fellowship mentors are the best: patient, kind, knowledgeable, experienced, and supportive. GUSI provided education in the areas I wanted and needed to obtain and in my home/office environment not requiring multiple trips around the country. It is not just the way course work is presented – learning is made easier by the support provided to each student.”

Dr. Glenda Patterson
Core Faculty, University of Arkansas Northwest Internal Medicine Residency
Physician, Veterans Health Care of the Ozarks
Board-certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine, and Critical Care Medicine

The GUSI Fellowships Platform features a scalable software system designed to monitor and track performance, ensuring learners can effectively measure their progress.

GUSI understands the challenges faced by healthcare professionals seeking to enhance their ultrasound skills amid demanding schedules. GUSI addresses these concerns with flexible scheduling options, allowing learners to progress at their own pace while balancing their professional and personal commitments. This adaptability and virtual experience is crucial for fostering a culture of continuous learning and skill development.

“I went from not being able to hold the probe to someone who can scan and diagnosing and finding pathologies. I worked with Dr. Milne-Price and she was amazing! She sharpened my skills and we did sessions of live scanning over Zoom. I feel confident in my skills now to scan on my own.”

Dr. Dalea Al-Hawarri
Faculty, Bryn Mawr Family Medicine Residency

As healthcare continues to evolve, the demand for proficient ultrasound practitioners has never been greater. GUSI is not only committed to providing exceptional education but also aims to inspire a new generation of healthcare professionals who can leverage POCUS to improve patient outcomes globally.
