The Challenge
With more than 7,000 employees and over 30 locations across multiple counties, Summa Health is one of the largest integrated healthcare delivery systems in Ohio. Summa’s HR team is charged with managing documentation across a network of hospitals, communitybased health centers, a health plan, a multi-specialty group practice, an accountable care organization, research and medical education, and a foundation, all with variable levels of staffing and a range of missioncritical certification types for employees. Historically, physical HR files were moved or shared across locations via interoffice mail, increasing the risk of missing or incomplete files.
Employees spread across many different types of facilities
Summa Health has thousands of employees in several different types of healthcare organizations making it more complicated to manage files, certifications and compliance.
Differing levels of localized HR support at different types of locations
Not all locations throughout the organization have the same level of HR support, so implementing a digital solution allowed for standardization of processes regardless of local personnel resources.
Wide range of certification requirements for different types of employees
The differing types of healthcare delivery organizations means Summa Health has different types of employee certifications to monitor and manage.
