Virginia Inspectors Eliminate Inspection Backlog and Reduce Complexity
Inspectors at the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services use GL Suite to stay ahead of a growing workload, enabling them to perform critical (sometimes life-saving) inspections at a faster pace and with improved reporting accuracy.
The department’s customized GL Suite system automates and streamlines workflows related to license applications and renewals, investigations, and enforcement actions, as well as facility inspections.
Virginia’s GL Suite application:
- Allows the agency to manage all forms and communications electronically, including automated notices to both staff and providers
- Supports websites that allow residential providers to fulfill licensure requirements and the public to review licensure status, all online
- Manages criminal history checks for facility staff
- Tracks available beds
Mobile Inspections Increase Agility, Capacity
At the conclusion of an inspection, field inspectors can instantly transmit results to the GL Suite cloud application. And in the case of low or no reception, the mobile app retains data for inspections that occur offline, securely transmitting the data once an internet connection is reestablished.
The application also pushes scheduled inspection updates to the inspector’s mobile device, ensuring access to current information right up to the minute the inspection begins.
And because GL Suite’s mobile inspection capabilities allow for smoother inspections, inspectors gain greater capacity to perform both scheduled and ad-hoc inspections.

Paper Inspections Create Problems. A Digital Mobile Solution Solves Them.
Using paper for inspections slows the process and increases the risk of errors: every handwritten comment must be later deciphered and manually copied into another system. A single dropped or transposed digit could virtually bury the record, causing hours of manual searching for the original or even requiring a re-inspection.
Worse, paper forms can easily get lost or misplaced. If those forms contain sensitive information, a lost form floating out in potentially public view could create information security concerns or even privacy violations.
Mobile inspections in GL Suite save time and reduce mistakes. Inspection results flow directly into the system from the field, delivering powerful results:
- A faster data collection process
- Improved accuracy
- Better completion through digital prompts to collect required and important information
- Eliminates the risk of paper forms being lost in transit or misplaced
As a childcare licensing agency, you rely on your inspectors to gather important facility and provider information. GL Suite offers your agency the mobile inspection tools to support better, faster, more accurate data collection.
With GL Suite’s mobile inspection solution, your inspectors enjoy offline support, and your agency can monitor the status of every inspector at a glance.
Track Numbers of Beds
For example, tracking the number of foster children and the number of foster care beds (total and available) helps your agency understand your ability to meet demand and provide care to every child in foster care.
- The Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Disability Services uses the GL Suite system to:
- Track residential treatment beds by type, availability, location
Use business intelligence reporting to visually display the number of beds by the service provided and by region, using maps, graphs, and bar charts
