(November 1, 2004 / Las Vegas, NV) Officials at Greenville, SC-based Goddard Technology Corporation, a leading provider of biometric, smart card, and secure credential solutions, today announced their selection by the Clark County Health District (CCHD), headquartered in Las Vegas, to provide a new infrastructure for health card issuance.
Clark County Health District issues approximately 155,000 health cards yearly and collects information using multiple systems. By selecting Goddard Technology Corporation, CCHD hopes to reduce the number of systems necessary to collect data and issue cards while also increasing the accuracy and efficiency of the card issuing process.
Clark County workers involved with jobs that include hair care, body piercing, food preparation and handling, adult group care, child care, massage and reflexology, as well as tattoo and permanent make-up are required to register with the CCHD and meet certain medical requirements prior to working in affected job fields. Health cards are workers’ proof of medical eligibility. People are prohibited from working in regulated fields without the cards.
Bill Donohue, Goddard’s president and CEO said, “Clark County Health District’s selection of Goddard illustrates its commitment to partner with a technology firm most capable of furthering the district’s mission of protecting and promoting the health, environment, and well-being of Clark County’s residents and visitors.”
“While we are responsible for creating a custom solution to collect and store accurate health information for the cards’ production, more importantly this new system is designed to meet the district’s current needs, provide scalability for any of the district’s future changes, and improve customer service to those conducting business with the district.” He added that the system is also customizable for smaller health departments across the country – including those who do not issue the mandatory health cards like CCHD.
Donohue said his team understands how important universal access is to CCHD and its clients and that Goddard will implement the latest technologies and development tools to enable deployment of this secure web client solution. To assist the CCHD as it transitions from current multi-system data storage and card production methods, Goddard will aid the CCHD with data conversion, report generation, interfacing with the district’s other web applications, installation, and training.
“The Clark County Health District takes its responsibility and public trust seriously. It seeks a long-term partner to help fulfill its goal of providing essential services. Along with system integration and functionality, improved CCHD customer service is our key goal,” Donohue said.
With a testing period that will last for the remainder of this year, Goddard’s new system is expected to be on-line by the end of January.
