AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle today
announced that Northwell Health, one of the largest health systems
in New York, turned to Oracle
Analytics Cloud, built on the highly secure, scalable Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure, and Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse to optimize
patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic. With Oracle, Northwell
Health is able to monitor available nursing resources, predict
upcoming staffing needs and accommodate a continually shifting
patient load.
Northwell Health operates 23 hospitals with a combined 74,000
employees across New York and
treats millions of patients annually. In the fight against
COVID-19, every minute counts and having quick access to
astronomical amounts of data combined with powerful analytics to
enable visibility into rapidly changing patient loads and staffing
requirements has given Northwell Health the necessary speed to
optimize patient care. In order to not be overburdened with an
influx of infected patients, Northwell Health quickly consolidates
disparate data sources from Oracle and non-Oracle applications to
automate fundamental administrative processes and prepare the
organization for a possible future resurgence of COVID-19
cases.
"We realized we needed a better way to calculate staffing needs
and manage our search for staff so we could maximize patient
safety," said Elina Petrillo,
Assistant Vice President, HR Technology, Northwell Health. "We were
able to quickly – in less than a month – create an analytics
dashboard with Oracle Analytics Cloud. Our dashboard for staffing
is an actionable dashboard providing automated insight into our
staffing picture during times of crisis and beyond. With a
real-time-staffing dashboard we were able to more efficiently
deploy over 700 agency nurses to sites where they are most
needed."
"We're proud to be supporting Northwell Health in the fight
against COVID-19," said T.K. Anand, Senior Vice President, Oracle
Analytics. "Being able to quickly extract critical insights from
your data, especially for organizations on the frontlines, is
paramount – you can't be worried about stitching together
spreadsheets when lives are at stake. Having a single platform with
accessible and dependable augmented analytics means Northwell
doesn't have to do manual data integration or jump between
applications, increasing productivity across the board, especially
for clinical staff delivering patient care."
Northwell Health also had the foresight to jump straight to
Oracle Cloud HCM, rolling out payroll, core HR, benefits,
recruitment, compensation, talent management, learning and helpdesk
modules to enable one system of truth for Northwell's HR leaders.
Now more than ever, the automation and ability to collaborate
across hospitals has helped Northwell better connect and serve its
workforce. Centralizing data into a unified platform has not only
created immense value for HR, nursing leadership, and front-line
managers but also helped Northwell's internal agency manage agency
nurses and control spending.
Before implementing Oracle Analytics Cloud, Northwell Health's
data was decentralized and managed by individual hospitals.
Analysts used spreadsheets to crunch data and help administrators
understand staffing shortages at each hospital and unit. Using
Oracle Analytics Cloud and Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse,
Northwell is able to automate the process of pulling data from
their scheduling platform and marry staffing scheduling data with
data about the number of patients at their hospitals. Through an HR
dashboard, chief nursing officers and HR leaders can stay up to
date on patient inflows, recruitment and resource requirements, and
clinical leaders can use the data to deploy additional staff for
optimized patient care.
To further increase their productivity levels, Northwell Health
also uses Oracle's mobile capabilities to extend secure access to
employees via their smart phones and tablets. This is especially
important to help ensure that additional critical care nurses and
respiratory therapists are available and on the floor for each
shift as planned.
Northwell Health selected Oracle in FY18Q3.
