Vancouver Coastal Health Rolls out Loki’s Solutions to 16 Sites with 25,000 Employees
November 18, 2005, Delta BC: Loki Systems is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed implementation of its workforce management applications in all 16 Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) sites. VCH is using Loki’s StaffRight® and StaffPay® solutions to automate the time, attendance and payroll preprocessing activities for its 25,000 employees.
“Over the past two weeks we have been using StaffRight to capture time and attendance information at Vancouver General and UBC Hospitals, the two largest sites to go live as part of the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority’s Regional Business Systems project. Yesterday we ran our first production payroll using StaffPay,” said Larry Kemp, Director, Payroll Services with VCH. “We are extremely pleased with the overall results of this implementation, one of the smoothest go-lives we’ve had the opportunity to be involved with during the last three years.”
VCH operates 14 hospitals and two diagnostic treatment centres serving BC residents in Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Richmond and the coastal mountain communities and has now implemented Loki’s StaffRight and StaffPay solutions at each location.
VCH purchased our workforce management solutions to more effectively schedule, manage and pay their 25,000 employees,” stated Victor Holysh, COO, Loki Systems. “Key benefits to VCH include reducing the time and cost required to produce payroll and create employee rotations, assisting managers in decision making and staff management, and increasing real-time access to performance reports.”
Loki’s employee scheduling software enables healthcare organizations to manage staff and nursing shift schedules for optimal efficiency, enhance job satisfaction and reduce turnover, and ultimately improve patient care and financial performance. StaffRight automates many of the complex, time-consuming labor-related scheduling and timekeeping processes allowing hospitals to proactively manage their workforce for optimal efficiency. Shift schedules that reflect employee preferences, combined with web-based employee self-service tools such as shift trading and schedule viewing, allow hospitals and healthcare organizations to increase job satisfaction levels and improve employee retention rates.
