Americans with Disabilities Act

Considering the real estate portfolio of some of the nation's major healthcare systems and teaching hospitals, ADA compliance is more than a casual concern: It is a challenge to their financial and operational robustness with legal implications.

The key ingredient for successfully implementing accessibility compliance is to first conduct an objective analysis of the issue and then being able to manage information in an efficient and intuitive manner. Effective management of deficiencies would allow better control and potential aggregating of the resulting projects thus significantly reducing the cost of correcting accessibility issues.

Field surveys conducted by the ATG code-consulting team, coupled with the integration of the results into the ADA component of the Enterprise Active Visual System® (AVS), ATG's web-based facility information solution, provides authenticated users with the capability to access and query ADA data instantly. Managers can even calculate and project the impact ADA-related construction would have on the organization's financial resources. At the same time, they can efficiently and economically aggregate deficiencies into meaningful projects.

All of this work can be accomplished without requiring any software or additional resources, utilizing ATG's web-based AVS technology.

ADA compliance elements are easily located via CAD layouts, allowing for better management of ADA-related projects.

A wide variety of reports that identify the status of deficiencies can be generated with the simple click of a button.
