Saint Mary's Hospital Deploys in the Kronos Cloud
Saint Mary's Hospital, a long-standing customer of Kronos
Incorporated, is moving its Kronos (News - Alert) workforce management applications
across all departments for more than 2,000 employees to the Kronos Cloud.
News Facts
-
A long-standing customer of Kronos time and attendance and scheduling
applications, Saint Mary's Hospital recently chose to migrate to the
Kronos Cloud. Once deployed in the Kronos Cloud, Kronos will perform
all configuration, maintenance, upgrades, and support of the workforce
management solutions, enabling the IT department of Saint Mary's
Hospital to focus on other priorities, helping save money and time.
-
In addition to moving to the Kronos Cloud, Saint Mary's Hospital
expanded its use of Kronos workforce management applications to
include labor analytics, patient classification and workload
management, and mobile applications, as well as Kronos InTouch time
clocks.
-
As a result, Saint Mary's Hospital expects to enhance productivity
levels, improve patient satisfaction, make better decisions regarding
staffing, and gain additional insight into the financial impact of
those decisions. The labor analytics solution, for example, will help
in this aspect significantly through quick, timely adjustments to
match labor levels with fluctuating patient demand.
-
And extending its scheduling capabilities with patient classification
and workload management, Saint Mary's Hospital will gain visibility
into real-time data on admissions, discharges, and transfers of
patients. This will help demonstrate a clear picture of patient
population workload and offer the ability to balance staff assignment
and staffing throughout the entire system.
-
By using Kronos mobile applications, Saint Mary's Hospital will
provide employees and managers access to time and attendance and
scheduling information at any time, from any location. Managers will
gain the ability to make instant decisions based on real-time labor
data and be able to preempt issues before they have a larger
organizational impact. For employees, mobile access will provide added
functionality for self scheduling and further help them manage their
own schedules with greater ease.
-
The addition of Kronos InTouch time clocks will provide employees more
control over their time, enabling thm to easily check accrual
balances, request time off, and view schedules.
