Large or small, for profit or not-for profit, system affiliated or independent, denominational or non-denominational, specialized or full service, all health care organizations share a common purpose and common operational infrastructure. All desire to provide quality clinical services and need to hire and manage employees to deliver it with compassion and expertise.
For nearly 60 years, Automatic Data Processing Inc. (APD) has developed the widest range of labor management resources including: human resources, payroll, tax and benefits coordination, and individualized business process solutions for organizations of all types and sizes. In fact, ADP is a pioneer in facilitating a cultural shift from the negative stereotype of outsourcing systems as job reducing green headed monsters to an appreciation of outsourcing as welcome support to current operating systems by hosting and maintaining services which increase efficiencies and can often expand service.
Historically, as organizations grow, experts evolve to provide more specialized and simultaneously decentralized services, often purchasing and building systems on an as-needed basis. However, silo management using disparate systems impedes the ability to plan, track and interface in the short or long-term to achieve the competitive edge necessary to succeed in todays environment. ADP has created wrap-around version service packages that provide clients with scalable solutions and desired levels of control.
Additionally, as baby boomers inevitably move through the life cycle, health care organizations are finding themselves taxed by both the predicted increased demand for service with a simultaneous decrease in volume of providers. Such scenarios underscore the importance of having a grip on turnover and succession planning. ADP services can help organizations plan rather than react to turnover trends. For example, a 1 % nursing turnover has a $300,000 net impact on the bottom line. However, with a set of tools and a technical infrastructure to track employee skills, roles, management training and experience an HR professional can create a dream team through promotions rather than recruitment which proves to be infinitely less expensive and more efficient. Strategically ADP has made it their mission to be plugged into the Washington, DC scene on behalf of their clients. There, ADP experts actually take a seat at the table to participate and offer knowledgeable comment to regulation discussions impacting tax codes, benefits and operations guidelines by which health care organizations nationwide must abide.
According to Patrick Ogden, ADP National Accounts Representative, the ADP model of service is not unlike the holistic health care delivery model. For example, clinicians dont treat the heart in isolation from all the other body organs. Health care is a delicate balance of influences on the whole body. Similarly the care and administration of labor management, from recruitment screening, applicant tracking and assessment through benefits administration, payroll and retirement, requires an integrated thoughtful dialogue across several administrative areas.
ADP , one of the worlds largest providers of business outsourcing solutions, is also on the prestigious Companies That Care national honor roll and named to Training Magazines “Training Top 125” for excellence in employee training and development.
