About Cancer Institute New South Wales
Cancer Institute New South Wales (CINSW) has as its vision to end cancers as we know them. The organisation partners with the health system and the community to improve cancer outcomes, working across the healthcare system to promote better cancer prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment and care. CINSW funds cancer research, focusing on the translation of research findings into clinical practice.
The challenge
Each year, CINSW is responsible for the distribution of around $28 million of cancer research funding. Previously, a number of disparate systems were used to manage, capture, store and report on grants and projects. Grant management had become increasingly complex.
The systems were difficult and time-consuming for key stakeholders including researchers, organisations applying for grants, and grant evaluators.
Improvements in, and automation of, functionality such as application forms, guidelines, workflow approvals, processing capabilities and reporting were crucial.
The solution
CINSW selected F1 Solutions’ flagship product OmniStar Grants as the system to administer and manage their research grants. OmniStar is hosted in the cloud as Software as a Service (SaaS).
All existing data was migrated to the new environment using the inbuilt data migration tool. This included over 20,000 documents and tens of thousands of records. All application forms were re-designed with SmartForm technology.
During the project, F1 Solutions also provided CINSW with strategic IT advice and consultancy services, to improve the organisation’s business processes.
