QUALITY & SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ICARE® SMS

Your safety data are only yours

The safety database is located in your premises and access are directly managed by your IT department:
No one but you can access your safety data.

• A user account is set for each employee and determines what document can be viewed and / or modified and what function can / cannot be used. Nothing is shared over the network.

• A global database password can be used if you suspect (or want to prevent) that an undefined login & password has been communicated by an employee to a third party.

• Actions of each individual user are tracked and recorded. In case of doubt, the administrator can review what document was created or modified by a specified user between two dates.
• Your license file is associated with your safety database. You cannot connect to another database and other companies cannot access your.

• Client / server application for Microsoft Windows (XP/ Vista / 7)
• Latest and proven technologies (thin client datasnap technology via TCP/IP)
• Very low administration (the only administration task is to execute the upgrades: 3 clicks)
• Single point administration: once the server is upgraded, the clients are upgraded automatically
• Automatic hot backup (7 days cycle)
• All files (pdf, doc, xls, jpg, …) attached to your documents are centralized on the server
• SQL database powered by Firebird SQL
• Data total privacy (your data are located on your local network, the internet gateway can be closed or opened to provide a worldwide access)
• Reported identification data are only accessible by authorized users (data de-identification)

There is a natural tendency to integrate the different management and control systems like Quality & Safety (reduce duplication and therefore costs, reduce risks and increase profitability, balance potentially conflicting objectives).

The Safety Assurance component of the SMS is very similar to the Quality Assurance function in that both functions are sharing the same audit & corrective action mechanism.

iCare SMS provides support for managing Safety & Quality audits and actions (corrective & preventive) in an integrated module
