A Group Employment Control System for HR Healthcare
PACS (Post Application Control System) is a unique, custom-built, cloud-based central database and portal, that provides functionality to submit, edit, update & approve post applications, while providing traceability of all application data and related communications made by users at group & site levels.
The solution was built for the RCSI Hospital Group in 2021, as they required a solution to alleviate their group HR team and the wider HR function in their clinical sites, of the manual, time consuming processes within the application and approval process of up to 140 post applications every week, between the 7 hospital sites.
Rolled out in the RCSI Hospital Group in 2021, PACS has successfully increased productivity throughout the GECC post approval process, by reducing the processing times of managing posts by up to 3 days, while applying standardisation to processes managed by the HR team in the group, clinical sites & the HSE GECC team..png?width=1024&name=RCSI%20Logo%20(1).png)
