The database was expanded to incorporate the CFDIs digital training library. TOAS also oversaw all technology supporting the CFDIs therapist training program. TOAS currently manages encrypted records of 1,665 client records and 58 therapist records, 18 interactive digital training manuals, 53 digitized video assets, and a fleet of 18 end-user computers.
