Using the EnvisionConnect Software Suite, which includes a mobile inspection app, the Environmental Health Division manages environmental health services such as inspections and permits for retail, food, swimming pools and housing programs, as well as smaller programs that deal with theaters, pet stores and self-service laundry facilities.
One phase of the project involved migrating more than 107,000 facility records and 117,000 permit records into the EnvisionConnect database, and another part of the migration process includes the county's deployment of 300 tablets to meet its automation goals.
In the near future, the county is set to implement an EnvisionConnect portal to allow the public to submit online complaint forms and other applications. Through the portal, the public will have access to inspection results and closures.
