In July 2010, UNC Health Care began an 18-month implementation project for its new Lawson Human Capital Management System. Since it is our prescription for the future it has been named HRx and we will be using this blog as a vehicle for sharing our journey with you.
The reason that UNC Health Care is undertaking this project is to help us move from the current legacy system (GEAC) that was designed primarily for governmental organizations and not for the healthcare organization that we are. Over the years to address the shortcomings, we have created numerous work-arounds to make the system meet our unique healthcare needs. We have also had to follow overly complex processes to accomplish relatively simple tasks such as hiring a new employee or changing a name! In order to address and resolve these and numerous other issues and position UNC Health Care so that it can easily accommodate it future expansion plan, we have undertake the HRx project.
To help us with the massive implementation process, UNC Health Care has hired consultants from CIBER Inc. to help us. CIBER is a leading global information technology consulting, services and outsourcing company that has been helping governmental, commercial and nonprofit organizations maximize their technological potentials for over 35 years. The consultants will be here for the 18 months of the project and combined they have over 35 years of experience in implementing Lawson HR Management software.
CIBER will be working with us in all stages of implementing Lawson’s 9.0.1 Human Resources Suite of products that will address- Human Resources, Personnel, Payroll, Benefits, Absence Management and Employee/Manager Self Service across UNC Health Care’s system. HRx will impact all of UNC Health Care including UNC Hospital, Physicians & Associates, Chatham Hospital, Triangle Physician Network, Home Health and our future entities like the proposed Hillsborough Hospital.
We are very much excited about HRx and hope that you will visit this blog weekly to find out what we are doing. HRx will be impacting all of UNC Health Care and we want to make sure you join us on this journey!
