Lexy Martin will focus on the data gathered from healthcare provider respondents including the workforce technologies they are using, trends in their deployment options, some of their key metrics and the vendors they use today and plan to use in the next year. Find out if SaaS is gaining momentum, if healthcare organizations are actively investing in Cloud computing, and ultimately if social media is becoming a tool that healthcare organizations are leveraging to stay in contact with highly desirable recruits. Lexy will conclude with some reccomendations based on the value organizations are achieving from their choices. Attendees will gain a better understanding of what's driving HR change with the people and technology within the healthcare industry to effectively support operational success.

With the recent focus on maintaining adequate healthcare coverage, the declining nurse workforce, and the need for cost containment, healthcare organizations need up-to-date information on both staffing and labor cost. Failure to predict shortages and proactively implement cost containment programs may mean that patients have to be turned away or transferred to other facilities all while budgets are blown. The need for hospitals to address this problem has never been more urgent. With an integrated Human Capital Management (HCM), scheduling, and time and attendance system, hospitals can identify potential nursing shortages and understand real-time payroll accruals, before they become critical. The ability to analyze the root causes and incorporate a foundation for proactive labor management is a best practice that hospitals need to implement today. The goal of this webinar is to share some interrelated strategies on how to integrate these disparate systems and implement best practices.

Key Takeaways:

1. Structural consideration to support value proposition to the community

While the implementation of an integrated Supply Chain Management (SCM) solution provides state-of-the-art capabilities to support critical cost saving efforts, we have found that implementing the solution in and of itself does not automatically achieve the performance improvement and business operational/process objectives typically predicted. There is minimal Return on Investment (ROI) from the implementation of a new management information system. There is a significant ROI, however, if the solution is implemented in the context of operational best practices and thoughtful integration to the organization’s Surgery Information System (SIS) and Charge Description Master (CDM). The goal of this webinar is to share some interrelated strategies on how to integrate these disparate systems and implement best practices

CedarCrestone developed a Recruit Composite Application (a web-based application using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) technologies) to save time and resources on tasks related to the recruiting process. SOA is simply a way of integrating disparate software systems, applications, and processes (ERP systems, in this case) so that they communicate seamlessly. Its use is becoming more prevalent in extending current ERP systems while providing return on investment (ROI). The Recruit Composite Application has shown an immediate ROI by eliminating process inefficiencies (time and labor expense) with the added bonus of supporting overall green strategies.
