For healthcare organizations, updating to a comprehensive, healthcare-native workforce intelligence platform can be a game changer. It means setting aside error-prone, time-intensive Excel sheets and tapping into powerful, data-backed insights for smarter labor decisions—all while empowering your compensation professionals and your clinical staff to do their best work.  

 

If you’re ready for this step, you’re probably wondering how to find a solution that gives you the best return on your investment. Here are eight things to look for:   

 

1.Cloud-native:

Find a platform that’s built for the cloud for maximum security and scalability

2. Data-driven:

Make sure the system is designed to let you manage data easily and draw out the insights you need. For the biggest benefits, choose a system that allows you to use your internal data for benchmarking against peers in the industry.

3. Configurable, with self-service options: 

Look for a system you can shape to your needs, especially through a seamless connection to your contract management tools and self-service options that let providers check their compensation information.

4. Easy integration with your existing ecosystem:

Opt for a solution that blends easily with the tools you rely on—and works directly with them to make the whole ecosystem more powerful. 

5. Flexible rules engine: 

Select tools that have the flexibility to process your EMR data.

6. AI-empowered: 

Choose a system that taps into AI to help you make sense of your data, including an overview of how your compensation system is performing and a look at key indicators.

7. A good user interface (UI) and user experience (UX): 

Pay attention to the look and feel of the technology. A system that’s easy-to-use saves time, and a sleek, simple interface makes things smoother for your providers. 

8. A strong customer success team: 

Don’t go it alone. Find a technology partner that feels like a good fit for your organization and is ready to see you through the whole implementation.
