Association for Advancing Physician and Provider Recruitment

System Selection and Implementation 

 

OVERVIEW

The Association for Advancing Physician and Provider Recruitment (AAPPR) is the leading organization in the healthcare recruitment continuum. With nearly 2,000 members, AAPPR supports the recruitment, onboarding, and retention of healthcare professionals through innovation and thought leadership. Recognizing the limitations of its existing technology infrastructure, AAPPR partnered with .orgSource to select and implement a tailored Association Management System (AMS) that could revolutionize member engagement and streamline operations. 

The challenge

AAPPR faced several challenges with its outdated AMS and fragmented technology systems: 

  • Limited Functionality: The current AMS lacked the features needed to support operational efficiency. 
  • Fragmented Member Data: Disconnected systems disrupted workflows, reducing staff effectiveness and preventing a holistic view of member needs. 
  • Member Engagement Barriers: Insufficient tools made it difficult to provide members with seamless, 24/7 access to resources and services.
     

AAPPR sought a modern AMS solution that would address these pain points while aligning with its long-term vision for enhanced member engagement and sustainable organizational growth.
 

The Solution

.orgSource applied a strategic, two-phase approach to ensure a successful AMS selection for AAPPR. 

Phase 1: Discovery and Vision Setting 

  • Conducted discovery sessions with key stakeholders to understand AAPPR’s goals, operational challenges, and user needs. 
  • Assessed current workflows and envisioned an ideal future state that prioritized member satisfaction and operational improvements. 
  • Developed a detailed Request for Proposal (RFP), specifying essential features, integration requirements, and scalability needs for the new AMS. 

Phase 2: Vendor Selection 

  • Drafted and distributed the RFP to qualified AMS vendors. 
  • Facilitated the vendor evaluation process, including scripted demonstrations, interviews, and reference checks. 
  • Delivered a vendor comparison matrix and guided AAPPR in selecting a system that aligned with its strategic goals. 

The Results

AAPPR's new AMS delivered transformative results, empowering the organization to better serve its members and advance its mission. 

Key Outcomes: 

  • Enhanced Member Experience: Members now enjoy seamless, 24/7 access to resources, leading to increased engagement and satisfaction. 
  • Operational Efficiency: Streamlined workflows and system integrations have reduced staff workload, enabling a focus on strategic initiatives. 
  • Data-Driven Insights: Improved data accessibility and analytics allow AAPPR to refine its services and better address member needs. 
  • Future-Ready Infrastructure: The scalable AMS positions AAPPR for continued growth and innovation.
     

“The expertise .orgSource brought to this project was invaluable. Their structured approach and in-depth understanding of our needs ensured that we not only found the right AMS but also gained a roadmap for long-term success.”
