MultiCare Health System Selects Workbrain for Healthcare to Further Enhance Quality Patient Care


TORONTO, Feb. 27 -- Workbrain Corporation, the leading provider of workforce management solutions for large enterprises (TSX:WB), today announced that MultiCare Health System has chosen Workbrain for Healthcare to support their mission of delivering high-quality, patient-centered care through greater insight into the day-to-day activities of their staff.

MultiCare Health System, a not-for-profit, integrated health network of doctors, nurses, clinics and hospitals serving Tacoma, Pierce County and southwest Washington, selected Workbrain's total workforce management solution for healthcare providers to replace its manual, disparate workflow processes. Workbrain for Healthcare will enable MultiCare to align its workforce performance with its mission of quality care and patient satisfaction, while ensuring workload, financial performance, and staff retention goals remain a focus.

"After evaluating a number of vendors, we chose Workbrain because of its superior usability and ability to meet the needs of our unique organization," said Elaine Tice, Manager of Accounts Payable & Payroll at MultiCare. "With Workbrain's solution, we'll be able to reduce the costs and administrative effort associated with payroll and we'll improve our compliance capabilities as we achieve greater consistency across our organization. Ultimately, we selected Workbrain above other vendors because we believed that Workbrain will be our long-term partner in helping us deliver on our core mission to provide the highest quality care to our patients."

"We know that healthcare professionals are faced with a number of unique challenges. The high turnover of skilled labor, a decline in qualified, experienced healthcare professionals, and an ever-changing compliance landscape, place an even greater strain on already over-worked staff," said Tony Marzulli, Workbrain's Senior Vice President of Products and Marketing. "Workbrain for Healthcare helps healthcare providers like MultiCare System, achieve their mission of quality patient care by providing the tools necessary to ensure compliance and reduce the turnover of skilled professionals while adhering to critical financial goals."
