The platform integrates seamlessly with existing HR systems, including single sign-on (SSO) capabilities. StaffGarden works closely with HR and IT teams to ensure data from an existing HR system is accurately imported and updated within our platform. Integration with systems like Azure Active Directory are supported, enabling automatic recognition of users and their roles.

Data from an existing HR system can be used to populate initial user profiles within StaffGarden. Users can then update and add information such as certifications, education, and experience. This information is stored in the e-portfolio and can be accessed and updated by both the users and their managers, ensuring that it is always up-to-date.

The clinical ladder is built by defining programs and levels, each with specific requirements and tasks. Users can apply to levels based on their qualifications. Tasks within each level can include a variety of activities such as professional practice, education, and committee participation. Each activity has a point value, and users must accumulate points to progress.

Eligibility requirements are defined within the program setup. Users apply to levels by selecting the appropriate program and level. Managers or designated approvers then review and approve the application, ensuring the user meets all criteria. Approvals can be managed at both the activity level and the final application level.

Competency is tracked using sophisticated checklists and cycle-based competency models. Users complete self-assessments and preceptor evaluations, which are verified by managers. The platform supports various validation methods and provides detailed reporting on competency progress.

The platform supports comprehensive reporting for magnet and pathway accreditations by collecting and organizing data in the e-portfolio. This includes certifications, education, and experience. Reports can be generated to meet specific compliance requirements, and the platform can produce XML documents for direct upload to accreditation bodies.

Tasks and requirements can be customized to fit the needs of each unique organization. This includes defining specific activities, point values, and evidence requirements. The platform's forms engine allows for tailored evidence collection, ensuring that all necessary information is captured.

The platform automates many administrative tasks, such as tracking progress, sending reminders, and generating reports. This reduces the burden on managers and educators, allowing them to focus on more strategic initiatives. Notifications are sent weekly to ensure tasks are completed on time.

Users can upload proof of certifications, which are then verified by managers. The platform tracks expiration dates and sends reminders for renewals, ensuring that all certifications are current. This data is stored securely and can be accessed at any time.

Implementation timelines vary based on the size of the organization and the complexity of the existing systems. However, StaffGarden  typically sees implementations completed within a few months. The StaffGarden in-house support team provides full support during the implementation process, including training and setup.

Our pricing model is based on the number of active users. We offer flexible pricing plans that scale with a given organization, ensuring that organizations only pay for what they need. Detailed pricing information can be provided upon request.

The platform centralizes data collection and provides robust reporting tools. This allows for easy tracking and reporting of degrees and certifications, ensuring compliance with magnet requirements. The system can generate required reports in the appropriate formats for submission.

Data is stored in SOC2 Certified servers with robust security measures in place. We use encryption and access controls to ensure data is protected and only accessible to authorized users. Regular security audits are conducted to maintain the highest standards.
