Implementation Made Easy

Carol Gabala

System Director, Nursing Practice & Professional Development, Bon Secours Mercy Health

It was the most seamless, painless process. StaffGarden experts are able to inform you as you're building the structure and platform, ways that may work better for you, that they've seen work better, that I hadn't even thought of… It's not just 'Can they do what you want?' but 'Are they bringing expertise to the table that's going to elevate what you're trying to accomplish? And I feel like they've really been able to do that with us.

VP for Professional Practice at Inova Health System

I'm a nurse, [StaffGarden] are software people, but the fact that I can establish a relationship and say 'I don't know what you're saying' without being made to feel less than, or feeling uncomfortable, makes it a whole lot easier and smoother [so] we get to a more expedient answer.

Lori Michel

Clinical Coordinator for Nursing Services, Peterson Health

"StaffGarden provided a very well-structured rollout for education for applying nurses, committee members, admins, and [it’s] all recorded for new nurses to have access."

VP for Professional Practice at Inova Health System

"When I meet with StaffGarden and say ‘I'd like to see this [feature]’, [they'll] say 'we don't have that now, but we can talk to engineering about that' and I'm amazed! ... [StaffGarden] being so customer-focused is a big plus.”

Integrates with Your Existing infrastructure

StaffGarden is capable of integration with any existing SSOs or ERPs within your organization, such as Workday, Oracle, Azure, and more. If you already use a system you don't see here, contact us. We can build an integration for you.

We utilize existing systems to improve clinical data management at hospitals nationwide. This approach eliminates the manual migration of program data across systems, resulting in significant time and effort savings for administrators.
