The ATG PCRA app from Advanced Technologies Group is a simple, yet powerful way for hospitals to conduct inspections related to construction and maintenance permits as part of the Pre-construction Risk Assessment (PCRA) process. The intuitive interface makes assessing inspection checklists effortless. Simply scan a work site permit with your iOS device, and a specific, inspection-ready checklist is generated automatically. Using these checklists, you can easily record inspection results in just a few clicks. And once you're finished, your inspection data is immediately available on our cloud-based PCRA/Permitting solution, which sends real-time, automated notifications to appropriate personnel within your organization, alerting them of required actions. (Note: ATG PCRA is not a standalone product and requires integration with ATG’s PCRA/Permitting web application.)
