VCU Health Leverages Workday Technologies to Operationalize Processes, Enhance Patient Care

VCU Health and Workday | A Unified Platform


The Big Themes:


Process improvements: In order to enable healthcare workers
to perform to the highest degree of their license, VCU Health
recognizes the importance of technologies that enable process
improvements. By working with Workday, VCU Health is able to
optimize its resources, and people, by leveraging Workday systems
and technologies to the greatest degree.

Cultural changes brought on by Workday: Change has taken
place at VCU Health as a result of Workday technologies. Now,
employees have access to information that enables them to do
their jobs quicker, and more efficiently.

Consolidating systems for better outcomes: The
interconnectedness of Workday systems and technologies allows its
partners and customers to harness a unified platform. Allen
explains that this notion is something that led VCU Health to
Workday, in addition to thinking about the future of technology.



The Big Quote: "We never want to operate in a crisis mode where
we don't need to. And so when we looked at Workday, we really
appreciated the notion of it being a power of one, and it being a
single system that worked together that worked. And so if we made
a change in one, in the HR, it flowed through the system, and
then we could manage it better. So that's really what brought us
to Workday, is really being able to leverage that power of one,
and really being able to think about the future of the
technology. Workday is built in the cloud, that's where it was
born, essentially. And so being able to leverage the technology
that's already set in the technology that we use today, versus an
older system using a different type of technology, we really are
looking to really move the organization forward, not only with
the technology, but with our culture and adopting change and
really helping to be agile so that we can be better resources of
our healthcare system."
