Integrating Workday with Scheduling Applications

As more healthcare providers adopt cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) delivery, the relationship between enterprise resource planning (ERP) and workforce management tools becomes critical. These two areas manage essential information for healthcare organizations, and seamless integration is key to achieving quality, safety, and efficiency goals.

Our team members can address the various complexities of both systems during hands-on implementation projects where we work with our clients as well as vendors to improve their overall workflows.

At the heart of this connection are multiple scalable outbound integration systems from Workday that sync critical human resources data points from Workday HCM to various workforce management applications. These powerful tools are designed to export a wide array of data points, ensuring that every necessary detail is captured and conveyed. These standardized outbound integrations act as a bridge, carrying data from Workday to the workforce management system, populating fields such as employee demographics, job roles, and credentials with precision and efficiency that removes countless hours of manual input and leaves your workforce focusing on the things that matter, providing for your community.

Once the data reaches the workforce management suite, the real-time updates empower the system with the latest information, maintaining a state of constant readiness and compliance. But the communication isn’t one-way. Through inbound integrations, the workforce management system talks back to Workday, completing a feedback loop that enriches both systems. This bi-directional data exchange ensures that any updates or changes within the workforce management system are reflected in Workday, maintaining Workday as the source of truth.

This source of truth is vital for maintaining industry best practices. It ensures consistency, accuracy, and compliance across the board. By using Workday’s robust data management capabilities, organizations can adhere to best practices without sacrificing the specialized tools that various workforce management systems provide. These tools, which customers have come to rely on, are integral to the daily operations within healthcare settings, where compliance and efficiency are not just ideal but essential.
