Kronos for Health Care
Overcome the obstacles to delivering cost-effective quality care
For every health care organization, the mission is to deliver the highest quality of patient care. There is an enormous challenge standing in the way — managing labour costs and employee satisfaction in today's increasingly competitive environment of rising demand for services balanced by fiscal constraint and accountabilities.
Staffing costs consume a major portion of all health care organizations' operating budgets. Factor in widespread nursing and other health professional shortages, plus the increasing reliance on agencies and overtime and it becomes easy to see why managing employee costs and satisfaction is so important.
Balancing patient care, employee needs, and budget demands effectively is a significant challenge. Kronos has helped more than 4000 health care organizations, including more than 2,200 hospitals, numerous long term care facilities, and systems and health regions address these and other challenging workforce issues:
- Balance labour costs while delivering quality patient care
- Increase productivity while limiting the need for overtime and agency labour
- Schedule the right employees at the right time in the right location
- Engage employees with self-service and improve their satisfaction
