Operations Management Platform for the CMHA Affiliate 

Operations management and secure client portal platform developed for a Canadian Mental Health Association affiliate
Automated email and SMS communication feature enhancing real-time updates between staff and clients

The Project

We partnered with an affiliate of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) to overhaul their client portal, transforming it into a seamless, secure, and user-friendly platform. By streamlining internal workflows, enhancing user access and security, and simplifying communication between clients and support staff, we significantly improved the experience for everyone involved.

The Client

An affiliate of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), a leading non-profit organization dedicated to promoting mental health rights and supporting individuals with mental health challenges through a network of branches and thousands of active users across Canada. As a government-regulated organization, they adhere to strict standards to ensure quality and compliance in its operations.

The Challenge

Before partnering with Orthoplex, the CMHA affiliate’s client portal faced significant operational and user experience issues:
  • Manual Coordination Tasks: Staff were burdened with time-consuming scheduling and repetitive administrative steps.
  • Limited Access Control: Role-based permissions were basic, resulting in confusion and inefficiencies.
  • Security Concerns: The portal had the potential for higher security layers for more protection of sensitive medical records.
  • Communication Gaps: Without automated communication and notifications staff and clients were overwhelmed by the volume of manual communication required.
Custom role-based access control ensuring secure and private staff and client access inside the CMHA affiliate platform

The Solution

Orthoplex implemented a comprehensive overhaul of the CMHA affiliate portal, addressing each challenge with tailored solutions:
  • Appointment Booking and Integrations: We integrated the portal with Zoom for virtual meetings, Outlook Calendar for seamless scheduling, and Microsoft Azure for secure staff authentication.
  • Modern Technology Stack: Leveraging AWS for hosting, email, and SMS campaigns, alongside advanced front-end and back-end frameworks, we ensured a robust and scalable platform.
  • Process Automation: We streamlined workflows by eliminating redundant processes, creating a seamless experience for staff, as the main users, and for clients as well.
  • Role-Based Access Control: Custom access levels ensure staff only see what’s relevant to their role, increasing privacy and productivity.
  • Enhanced Security Measures: We empowered the portal with advanced security protocols to add extra security layers to safeguard sensitive medical records, ensuring compliance with healthcare standards.
  • Automated Communication: Automated email and SMS notifications now keep clients and team members updated without added workload.
