Given the critical need to improve care quality, patient safety, cost control, patient throughput, and staff satisfaction, a staff management system today should to go far beyond process-oriented improvements, such as automating paper-based scheduling. ClairVia software integrates patients’ clinical data and outcomes assessments to help ensure that staffing meets each patient’s care requirements as well as the healthcare organization’s financial expectations.

PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM solutions include Human Resources, Learning Management, Recruiting Solutions, Workforce Performance Solutions, Benefits Administration, Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Administration, Payroll, Payroll Interface, Pension Administration, Time and Labor, and Services Procurement.

A combined ClairVia and Oracle solution provides the means for constant communication, interaction and collaboration. At any time and place, users can submit schedule requests, sign up for “shift opportunities” (available open shifts), exchange shifts with colleagues, and view their current and future schedules.

Real-time manager dashboards in ClairVia enable managers to go beyond retrospective productivity reporting and manage productivity proactively so that decision-makers have the time and staffing options to improve both quality and cost control. Detailed productivity measurements are available on dashboards and through reports that cover all staffing areas, such as patient care units, outpatient services and ancillary departments.
