Kronos Announces Strategic Relationship with Press Ganey

CHELMSFORD, Mass.--()--Kronos Incorporated today announced a strategic relationship with Press Ganey, which will facilitate collaboration between the two organizations to enable a subset of joint customers to participate in research and analysis. Combining data from Kronos’ Workforce Central® solution and Press Ganey’s National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators® (NDNQI®), the research will assess, measure, and analyze the impact of workforce characteristics and behaviors on both patient and caregiver outcomes such as safety, quality, staff engagement, and turnover.

  • In addition to this collaboration, Kronos has created an enabling technology that facilitates the process by which Kronos customers can transmit their data to NDNQI.
  • By establishing a process for submitting staffing data to the NDNQI database, joint Kronos and Press Ganey customers can experience a reduction in administrative effort to report the data, empowering staff to focus on analyzing performance and implementing improvements.
