  • VENA FOR PROGRAM ACCREDITATIONVENA HELPS INSTITUTIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD. WE CAN HELP YOU, TOO Vena removes the risk and headaches from a range of data collection processes so

    you can get back to the high-value work that drives your facultys success. Venas ease

    of use and flexibility have appealed to companies in industries such as banking, retail,

    energy, mining, professional services and education.

    Our approach to program accreditation is simple; provide a flexible, agile tool that

    allows programs and faculty members to continue using their existing templates and

    reports. Vena embraces any assessment data, including rubrics and scorecards, to

    produce accreditation and continuous improvement reports.

    Vena enables program chairs, evaluators, curriculum committees and visiting

    accrediting agencies to gain insight into all facets of curriculum and improvement

    processes. Venas features include complete process auditability, robust process

    workflow, an intuitive user interace, and the ability to archive years of assessment data.

  • DATA GATHERING AND APPROVALSVena standardizes data collection templates, and offers full flexibility to configure templates as required. Vena can capture student assessment data, faculty credentials and any supporting documentation for any reporting standard.

    Vena can be configured to support data collection at a level more granular than required by accrediting organizations and supports the collection of data down to the student assessment level. Conveniently, data can be collected once and shared across any number of models, as required.

    To manage this very collaborative and mission-critical process, Vena provides a sophisticated process designer that allows managers to drag-and-drop the user workflow process including input steps, review steps, alerts and report access. The entire process is documented, audit-able and repeatable for all reporting submissions. When the process is live, managers have complete visibility to each submission status to ensure completion and timely submissions.

    DATA VALIDATION AND AUDITAll changes are tracked in the system including data changes and workflow changes (user, date/time stamped) and can be audited at any time. There is a full cell-by-cell audit comparison of data changes and their impact from one save to another on any template. This includes full audit details of process status, including submissions, approvals and rejections. There are also in-template validation rules to ensure proper and accurate data collected from end-users. Additionally, Vena fully supports user comments and file attachments on any workflow submissions.

    Venas graphical process manager allows you to break processes into a series of repeatable steps.

  • Vena is scalable for many outcomes-based program accreditation reports. Data collection and reporting for CEAB, ABET, AACSB, ACBSP and many more are fully supported within the application.

    REPORT CREATIONVena fully supports the creation of final self-study, interim, or quality assurance reports for submission to accrediting agencies. Out of the box, all report fields can be mapped to any source system including SIS, HRIS, CMS, and LMS datastores. Approved data is automatically populated into the report using Venas intuitive report building wizard, and can be fully audited for any changes or modifications. Vena also provides the ability to automate all required qualitative summaries to ensure accurate reconciliation of figures and commentary prior to submission.

    LEVERAGE EXCEL AND YOUR EXISTING ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS Vena recognizes that spreadsheets are not going away any time soon, which is why our solution leverages native Excel the ultimate canvas for input and analysis.

    We take Excel functionality a few steps further, however, by augmenting it with the structure, database and security of an enterprise-class solution.

    Vena seamlessly integrates with any source system with powerful data integration processes that extract information from your source systems and stores it in a central, secure data repository.

    The result? You and your team can access information without searching through your inbox or a shared drive. Also, historical data and previous template iterations are always available for instant, easy version comparison and trend analysis.

    EFFECTIVE COLLABORATION = LESS RISK Collaborating through email is time-consuming and the lack of version control can lead to errors. Avoid these risks with Venas collaborative workflow engine. You can divide processes into a series of repeatable steps, each of which can be associated with a user, due date(s) and instructions.

    You also have the option of adding supporting documentation and commentary to put submissions in context and can leverage the workflow engine to monitor tasks through to completion for maximum insight into curriculum improvement.

    Other Vena features include a full audit trail that records user activity (who did what, when) in an easy-to-read log, in addition to role-based security and validation rules that reduce risk and save you countless hours of tedious manual work.
