“Multi-solution implementations, where our clients have a strategic corporate initiative in place to track, manage and optimize their entire workforce, now make up 85 percent of our go-lives,” said J.P.

API Healthcare’s integrated workforce management solutions enable data-driven staffing and productivity decisions. By integrating time and attendance, staffing and patient classification, human resources and payroll solutions, labor costs decrease and quality of care improves.

“Our goal is to use real-time information to reduce labor expenses by minimizing overtime and optimizing the use of agency labor.
