Sway Success Stories.

"The baseline testing by far is my favorite thing. It is so easy. We test our entire school in one day."

"When we do the sideline assessment, we are able to administer Sway quickly on the sideline. We used to use the SCAT 5 on paper for our assessment, but now we fully are using Sway."

"Sway is the up-coming gold standard of baseline testing."

"It’s easy enough to use that even someone who has never baseline tested before can be successful”. Sway’s ease of facilitation means Christina and her staff aren’t spending weeks walking each team through complicated processes.

“We knew our schools were moving away from computer labs, and the three schools combined is a large number of athletes. The three of us wanted to shift our focus to something more user-friendly and less rigid in structure.”

“Any sort of computer-based test makes baseline and post-injury testing a little bit more difficult. Using the students’ own phones was so much nicer. We get the data we need that helps us make quality decisions. We baseline test in larger groups in our main gym."

"The other day at a football game, I entered an injury event, did a quick voice dictation, and then was quickly able to start the sideline evaluation and get a symptoms score. We’ve been using Sway for a while and just keep leaning into its full capabilities. It’s been good for us.”

“Each class has its own code and goes through the process at home. I make myself available for questions, and everything is done remotely. Since we’re remote, I can take my time and review all baseline tests to make sure they are valid before each student comes to school.”

Sway offers the ability to remotely baseline on a phone, which Raechel has capitalized on by sending team codes to the athletes via their EMR system over the summer. Now, the athletes have completed baseline testing before they ever return to campus.

“Research is showing us that we weren’t doing enough with testing and Sway is the cutting edge in moving forward for how we treat injuries”. Since moving to Sway for baseline testing and post injury assessments, Rhonda tells us how efficient her system has become.

“I always want to back up my clinical decision-making, but also, from a documentation standpoint, be able to validate or justify putting an athlete back into a game by having as much information as possible. We’re all human and need data and information to help inform our choices. Sway helps us do that.”

Having sixteen contracted schools and over two thousand students to test, Mack and SOMC believed Sway to be a game-changer for how its staff can streamline their baseline testing process, document on-field evaluations, and continue to care for its patients remotely.

“I talk to other athletic trainers in our area, and we like to bounce ideas off each other. I’ve shown them our Sway reports, and everyone has been very excited about what they see. Even parents are intrigued by Sway and love to see accurate data and new technology being used. It’s amazing to see our phones being used for good.”
