The Treatment Council has both structured and streamlined their meeting processes

When the Danish Treatment Council makes recommendations for major analyses and evaluations, it is essential that the council members receive the right agenda at the right time. This is why Mette Bejder, a special consultant at the Danish Treatment Council, uses FirstAgenda Prepare to send out the agendas - agendas that are produced in the sister program FirstAgenda Management .

"As soon as an agenda is ready for consideration, all council members get access to the agenda through FirstAgenda Prepare. This way, we ensure that council members have a complete overview of the material and thus the best conditions for making a decision."

The Treatment Council is an organization that came into being under Danish Regions in the beginning of 2021. Mette Bejder has been involved almost since the organization was created, and in addition to her role as a consultant in evaluation cases, she is also an administrator in both FirstAgenda Prepare and FirstAgenda Management. Mette was involved in the implementation of both solutions, and although the implementation of IT systems can often be a difficult transition, The Treatment Council was quickly up and running.

I remember the actualimplementation of FirstAgenda Prepare and FirstAgenda Management as being quite easy. Both solutions are quite intuitive to use, and with a little training on how to use them, we were up and running quickly. At the same time, the integration between Prepare and Management makes a lot of sense for us in our work." There is a good flow in the process, from agenda creation to approval and publication.

In particular, Mette highlights the use of Management, which is a time-saving factor when preparing agendas.

"FirstAgenda Management we use to create both agenda templates and item templates. These templates are of great value to us, as we have many meetings and items that are similar in structure and which we can therefore benefit from having predefined even before we start preparing the specific meetings and items. This helps to create and ensure a good structure."

The Treatment Council is also generally very satisfied with FirstAgenda Prepare. Again, it is the intuitive expression of the solution, but also the possibility of using the iPad that she emphasizes.

"In general, there is great satisfaction with Prepare as a meeting tool among the council members. It is also used by many of the regions in advance, so in that way it has been super easy to implement, and it has been well received. In addition, many are happy that they can use Prepare on their iPad when preparing for a meeting."

Safety in use

When Mette and the rest of the Treatment Council use FirstAgenda Management and FirstAgenda Prepare, it is with a sense of security. It is important that confidential material is kept confidential and that you have a clear overview of who has access to what. This is precisely where Mette Bejder sees a great advantage in FirstAgenda Prepare and FirstAgenda Management

"I generally feel very comfortable using the solution. Prepare allows us to share confidential meeting material in a closed forum where we can comply with security and GDPR requirements, which can otherwise be a concern when sharing documents via email."
