Labor accounts for the largest portion of operating costs in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and other healthcare provider organizations. That is why increasing operational and employee efficiencies are critical to managing the cost of delivering quality care. Factoring in the healthcare industry's projected growth, the widespread caregiver shortage, and increasing reliance on agencies and overtime makes it easy to see why labor cost issues are rising, with no end in sight.
Every healthcare organization's mission is to deliver the highest quality patient care. But an enormous challenge stands in the way — balancing labor costs, employee satisfaction and regulatory compliance in today's increasingly complex healthcare environment. ISH addresses these issues through a closed-loop approach of human capital management by leveraging the interoperability and functionality of Kronos time and attendance, scheduling and human resource/payroll suite of applications along with Workforce Analytics to:
- Balance labor costs and compliance while delivering quality care
- Increase productivity while limiting the need for overtime and agency labor
- Engage employees with self-service and improve their satisfaction
- Find the best-fit employees with the right mix of skills to deliver quality care at the lowest cost
ISH is the healthcare industry leader in the design and roll-out of closed-loop human capital management strategies, while ensuring optimal use of the Kronos suite of applications.
