Simple & Smart Timesheet Portal for a Remote Healthcare IT Consulting Team

Project Summary: Honeydew Consulting is a boutique healthcare IT consulting firm that specializes in supporting hospitals using Epic’s laboratory software. We’re a small, nimble team of consultants who work remotely from various U.S. states and submit their hours and travel information manually—often over email or spreadsheets. We’re looking for a team of student developers to help us streamline this process by building a simple, secure, and user-friendly timesheet portal where our consultants can log in, enter their hours for a selected week, and optionally report travel expenses. The solution should be web-based and built with clean code and usability in mind. This tool will be used in production after the project ends, so thoughtful design, basic security, and maintainability are key.   Key Objectives: Create a secure web portal with login functionality for employees. Let employees select a date range and enter time for each day or the whole week. Include a smart autofill feature (e.g. entering "40" auto-fills 8 hours per weekday). Allow users to indicate the state they worked from during that time. Provide a way to upload or enter travel-related expenses (simple form input or file upload). Admin users should be able to view submitted time entries (and optionally download/export them).

Marketing and International Expansion for Small Healthcare IT Consulting Firm

ABOUT COMPANY Honeydew Consulting, Inc. is a boutique consulting firm that specializes in hospital laboratory and ancillary applications. We help hospital systems implement and optimize their Epic medical record system with our highly in-depth knowledge of the software and project experience. Honeydew Consulting is designed to produce only the absolute best consultants and provide their services without the inflated cost. In 2017, Honeydew was formed by a group of ex-Epic leaders with the primary focus to create a firm that can reliably produce consultants of the highest quality, with the skill set and experience capable of providing multi-faceted services including IT management, IT consulting, and process improvement. We are confident that our elite staff is truly best-of-breed capable of providing a fully integrated staffing solution across all aspects of an Epic implementation and maintenance. PROJECT SCOPE Our organization is able to offer a virtual internship opportunity for marketing students or teams. The primary focus for the student will be: Review and Understand Our Branding - assess where and how to improve our brand's presence and understand how we differentiate from our competitors.

Marketing Communications - Recommend changes to advertising and PR materials by creating an integrated marketing campaign. So far marketing has been limited to very targeted individuals (Linked In messaging, email flyers, some social media/blog/website posts), a single airport ad, and word of mouth.

SEO and Strategic Social Media Marketing - Conduct an audit of our current social media presence and other current communication channels to develop and implement strategies for improving our online presence and increasing engagement. Our goal at the end of this experience is: Our Branding - For the students to help us improve our brand's presence and capture greater market share.
