Lifespan, Rhode Island's first health system was founded in 1994 by Rhode Island Hospital and The Miriam Hospital. A comprehensive, integrated, academic health system, LifeSpan's present partners include RI Hospital's Hasbro Children's Hospital, Bradley Hospital, and Newport Hospital.
LifeSpan has been a LaborSoft customer since 2004. LifeSpan first implemented LaborForce Software at Rhode Island Hospital, the largest of the LifeSpan hospitals and the only LifeSpan hospital that employs both non-union and unionized employees. LaborForce was selected by the Rhode Island Hospital HR department to manage employee and labor relations issues, activities, and information.
Before LaborSoft, Rhode Island Hospital used PC products and paper files to manage their ER/LR issues, and suffered both inconsistencies and lost data.
With LaborSoft Rhode Island Hospital created a centralized, easy-to-use system that provides collaboration, ensures consistent resolution, and has a reporting tool to track trends and manage caseloads. Based on the success at Rhode Island Hospital, LaborForce has been implemented at both LifeSpan Corporate Services and Bradley Hospital.
