Healthcare Organizations Empower Their People for Improved Patient Outcomes with Kronos
Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Annual
Conference & Exhibition - At a time when regulations are
becoming increasingly complex and value-based care is the norm, a
successful transition into the new era of healthcare begins with
automation that ensures employee scheduling accuracy, mitigates
compliance risk, and keeps staff engaged. Recognizing that this mix is
needed to deliver high-quality, cost-effective care, healthcare
organizations are turning to Kronos
Incorporated to boost their human capital and workforce management
strategies to increase employee engagement and operational efficiency.

the "buy in" for the solution came from all employees and not just
management, ensuring employee engagement at all levels.
