Kronos for Healthcare
Overcome the obstacles to delivering cost-effective quality care
For every healthcare organization, the mission is to deliver the highest quality of patient care. But an enormous challenge stands in the way — balancing labor costs and employee satisfaction in today's increasingly competitive environment.
The American Hospital Association tells us that in the U.S. nearly 60 percent of hospitals' operating costs go to wages and benefits for caregivers. Factor in the widespread nursing shortage and increasing reliance on agencies and overtime and it becomes easy to see why labor-cost issues are growing, with no end in site.
Patient care, compliance, and employee satisfaction are a lot to manage. Kronos has helped more than 2,200 hospitals address these and other challenging workforce issues:
- Balance labor costs and compliance while delivering quality patient care
- Increase productivity while limiting the need for overtime and agency labor
- Engage employees with self-service and improve their satisfaction
