Accreditation programs are managing increasing workloads while maintaining consistency across staff, assessors, and laboratories. Recent updates to AB Manager are designed to simplify coordination, improve visibility, and reduce reliance on manual tracking tools such as spreadsheets and email.<\/p>\n

These enhancements bring accreditation activities into a more structured, shared workflow\u2014helping programs stay organized while ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.<\/p>\n

Improved Review Workflow & Activity Tracking<\/h2>\n

AB Manager now provides clearer organization and tracking of key accreditation activities, including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Application and document review<\/li>\n
  • PT and FoPT evaluations<\/li>\n
  • Assessment preparation and follow-up actions<\/li>\n
  • Laboratory responses and corrective actions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Programs can assign reviewers, track progress through defined milestones, and monitor the status of each activity within a centralized system.<\/p>\n

    At-a-Glance Program Visibility<\/h2>\n

    Staff and program managers can quickly identify:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Upcoming reviews and assigned reviewers<\/li>\n
    • Pending laboratory responses and required follow-up<\/li>\n
    • Open items requiring attention<\/li>\n
    • Activities ready for final review or decision<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This shared visibility improves coordination across teams and reduces the need for separate tracking systems.<\/p>\n

      Reduced Administrative Burden<\/h2>\n

      By consolidating review activities, assignments, and communication into a single platform, AB Manager helps:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Minimize duplicate data entry<\/li>\n
      • Reduce email-based coordination<\/li>\n
      • Improve accountability and transparency<\/li>\n
      • Keep accreditation activities moving forward<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Built to Support\u2014Not Replace\u2014Your Program<\/h2>\n

        AB Manager continues to support the preparation, organization, and coordination of accreditation activities, while agencies maintain official records and determinations within their established systems and procedures.<\/p>\n

        Driven by Program Feedback<\/h2>\n
