With SumTotal Systems, Midwest-Based Health System Meets Federal Regulations and Expects to Save Millions in Productivity

Overview

Based in St. Louis, Missouri, SSM Health Care (SSMHC) is one of the largest Catholic health systems in the country. The Missouri-based health system had no easy way to offer training to nurses and physicians whose shifts occurred outside normal business hours. And, workers cited increased opportunities for education as something that, in part, would motivate them to keep working for SSMHC. SSMHC also had to meet the needs of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). SSMHC chose SumTotal to meet federally mandated reporting requirements and cut the cost of training.
