In a landmark project driving digital transformation in the Bahamas, Novio Group has digitized over 600,000 pages and 50,000+ nursing records for the Nursing Council of the Bahamas, spanning from 1972 to 2025. The initiative marks a major milestone in transitioning government agencies from paper to digital records.
As part of the project, Novio Group also deployed its flagship document and record management platform, Docu Island, to enable secure, searchable, and compliant digital access.
From Paper to Digital: A National First in Health Sector Digitization
This initiative modernized the physical archives of the national Nursing Council, converting decades of critical documents—including registration files, renewals, and credentialing materials—into a centralized digital archive.
By digitizing these legacy records, Novio Group has helped create a foundation for better compliance, faster access, and streamlined future operations for the Council.
“We’re proud to preserve a key piece of national healthcare history while enabling faster and more transparent access to vital information,” said Valdez Williams, Managing Partner at Novio Group.
How It Was Done
Over the course of several months, Novio Group deployed a comprehensive digitization process:
High-volume scanning of archived records with strict chain-of-custody protocols
Automated page counting and indexing to support easy retrieval
Metadata extraction and secure file organization for long-term management
Custom digital archive interface for internal team use and future expansion
All records are now stored in a structured digital archive, ready for integration into future licensing systems or broader government platforms.
A Foundation for Digital Governance
This milestone underscores Novio Group’s capability to deliver large-scale document transformation projects for government and regulatory bodies.
The digitization of the national nursing archives paves the way for:
Improved access to historical data
Greater operational efficiency
Scalable digital infrastructure for future reforms
Powered by Docu Island
Novio Group implemented its proprietary platform, Docu Island, designed to help government and enterprise clients manage large-scale document workflows.
Key features deployed include:
Secure cloud-based access to digitized records
Tagging and indexing for fast retrieval
Audit logs for internal accountability
Scalable infrastructure for future licensing and integration needs
With Docu Island in place, the Nursing Council can now manage its records digitally—cutting administrative overhead and enhancing access for internal teams.
