CHELMSFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Florida’s Jupiter Medical Center recently selected a workforce management solution from Kronos Incorporated to control labor costs, minimize compliance risk, and improve productivity. The cost of labor is the medical center’s largest controllable expense, and through real-time visibility into critical labor data, Kronos will help the center avoid costs associated with payroll inflation. This will further help Jupiter Medical Center balance expenses – including those associated with reduced Medicare reimbursements – and quality-care initiatives.
