University Hospitals of Ohio achieves staffing credential compliance and improves audit performance with ShiftWise

In a press release issued today, ShiftWise details the success of University Hospitals in Ohio and its ability to verify temporary and contract employee credentials and documents. The 11-hospital system, through its partnership with OHA Solutions, a subsidiary of the Ohio Hospital Association, has been able to achieve two key goals with ShiftWise Vendor Management System.

1. Provide a faster, more accurate and standardized credential verification process across a complex 11-hospital organization.
2. Simplify the process of validating compliance during audits with Joint Commission and other regulatory bodies.

From the press release:

Nobody can come in to work in our system without a check mark in the system proving that they meet our requirements. ShiftWise is the tool that we use for gate-keeping to provide safety to our patients. — Erin Slay, Director of Hospital Operations and Patient Relations Officer for University Hospitals

Achieving compliance with regulatory bodies such as Joint Commission is an ongoing challenge that healthcare providers must meet. Tools such as ShiftWise give hospitals and other healthcare facilities the necessary tools to achieve a level of compliance that ultimately leads to better patient outcomes.
