With the extension of the contract, WellStar will further integrate Avantas’ healthcare enterprise labour management (HELM) methodology, while receiving services for quarterly workforce and resource analytics reports.

"Due to the initiative’s success, we’re excited to take our enterprise labour management strategy to the next level."

Avantas senior vice president Jackie Larson said: "As more organisations seek strategies to achieve financial savings and increase staff retention, WellStar is a shining example of how healthcare systems can achieve incredible efficiencies while also boosting nurse satisfaction by optimising its workforce."

WellStar executive vice president David Anderson said that over the last 18 months the organisation has been able to optimise and automate its work strategies to provide a single, enterprise-wide view of labour resources.

"Due to the initiative’s success, we’re excited to take our enterprise labour management strategy to the next level," Anderson added.
