HOW WOOSTER COMMUNITY HOSPITAL SAVED HALF A MILLION DOLLARS
Healthcare professionals know a thing or two about challenges. For the HR
team at WCH, the challenge has been siloed, outdated systems. Managers
tracked absences in separate spreadsheets, leaving people without a simple
way to view attendance records or accrued paid time off (PTO). Basic tasks
like pulling employee lists were difficult. These inefficient systems created
issues with the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS). OPERS’
calculations are based on credited service hours. Because people couldn’t
access their hours, they couldn’t calculate their PTO.
