Genesys Gives Healthcare Providers Browser-Based HR and Payroll

WEBWorks HealthCare HRMS handles healthcare payroll, human resources, and position control functions; provides accessibility, ease of use, and effective security

METHUEN, Mass. — September 20, 1999 — Genesys, the Methuen-based provider of software and outsourcing services for human resource management and payroll services, announced today the availability of WEBWorks HealthCare HRMS, an integrated, browser-based system that handles the complete range of healthcare-related human resources and payroll functions, including position control and applicant tracking.

"Today many healthcare operations are banding together under broader managed-care organizations and simultaneously expanding beyond the hospital setting," said Miles Patten, national director of healthcare systems for Genesys. "WEBWorks' web-based design enables these organizations to securely enhance their HR and self-service communications via the Internet, without worrying about information systems infrastructure. Providing access to HR and payroll functions via WEBWorks enables healthcare organizations to empower their workforces — all employees and managers, not just their HR personnel."

Functionality Especially Tuned to Healthcare Organizations

WEBWorks HealthCare HRMS was designed specifically to accommodate the healthcare industry's requirements for integrated human resources, position control, and payroll. For example, the system automatically compares budget and actual hours and dollars; allows changes in employment criteria without reprogramming; seamlessly handles changes in business rules and government requirements; and facilitates reengineering efforts with technology — all necessary capabilities for healthcare organizations.

WEBWorks HealthCare HRMS features include position and staffing control, budget management, requisition control (with automatic checking of budget hours and dollar authorization), payroll calculations for employees working in multiple positions at multiple pay rates, complex overtime calculations according to healthcare-industry standards, tracking of salaries funded by multiple sources, recording of productive versus nonproductive time, applicant tracking, exposure tracking, information modeling and analysis, in-service training, automatic check reconciliation, career planning, benefits administration, performance tracking, and browser-based user interface. WEBWorks HealthCare HRMS works with the Genesys WEBServe product, so organizations can offer managers and employees web-based self-service. WEBWorks HealthCare HRMS relies on standard Web-server and client technology, so healthcare organizations don't need to install any software other than a standard web browser on their computers. Since an ever-increasing number of users are familiar with browsers, and because WEBWorks includes on-line help, very little training or ancillary documentation is required. Style sheets control the appearance of the user interface, so organizations can easily customize their integrated Genesys applications to match companywide standards. In addition, WEBWorks HealthCare HRMS pages, or screens, can be easily customized to harmonize with organizations' specific procedures, policies, and other standards, and organizations may incorporate into the system hotlinks to their own web sites, such as hospital HR policy manuals.

Who Can Benefit from WEBWorks HealthCare HRMS

Genesys has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the healthcare industry and has provided healthcare-specific HR, payroll, and position-control software for more than five years. The Genesys customer base includes some 400 hospitals, among them many of the major U.S. healthcare institutions. Any organization with the infrastructure to support the internal use of Microsoft Internet Explorer (4.0 or greater) browser-based applications can run WEBWorks HealthCare HRMS. It is available as either a Windows NT- or MVS-based application, and it supports both Microsoft Internet Information Server and Netscape Enterprise Server. The license fee for the WEBWorks HealthCare HRMS depends upon number of employees supported and begins at $165,000.
