The Navigator application automates the process of obtaining, tracking, updating and managing employee HR and payroll information, which maximizes staff resources across the enterprise. Access to proactive and real-time information provides healthcare organizations with a more complete picture of labor resource utilization, which helps address numerous industry challenges, including recruiting, retention and cost-effective resource utilization. "Our initial HR system was not healthcare specific, and it simply could not meet the needs of our healthcare environment, such as managing employee information for workers floating across multiple hospitals and keeping up with licensing and credentialing Credentialing is the administrative process for validating the qualifications of licensed professionals, organizational members or organizations, and assessing their background and legitimacy. requirements," said Sally Eckford, WellStar's enterprise project manager. "We decided to replace the existing HR system with Navigator because API specializes in healthcare, and we knew they could give us a system that would fully automate our processes and provide employees and executives alike access to more complete information." Navigator simplifies the complex task of maintaining a detailed, organized and accurate employee database. Employee demographic, HR, benefits and payroll information is seamlessly maintained and managed from the time someone submits an employment application to the hiring process and throughout subsequent employment at the facility. Reporting supports all HR functions, including hiring, benefits and payroll information. WellStar has enjoyed such success with the Navigator implementation that the organization is in process of implementing API's ActiveStaffer(R) employee staff scheduling application. ActiveStaffer automates the time-consuming, labor-intensive manual processes involved in scheduling employees, thereby maximizing resources, controlling labor costs and retaining qualified staff. The application reduces the time burden on managers and schedulers, ensures employees are being treated equitably and proves quantitatively that patient care standards are being met. WellStar's initial nursing pilot departments are scheduled to be live on ActiveStaffer in August 2004. The organization plans to capitalize on Cap´i`tal`ize on` v. t. 1.

Additionally, management will now have a tool to better monitor under- and over-staffing in real time, which enables enhanced business decision-making. "We congratulate WellStar on a smooth, quick Navigator implementation," said Luis Garcia, API's president and chief executive officer. "And we look forward to integrating the HR system with ActiveStaffer so that WellStar can realize even greater benefits thanks to seamless information integration."
