Leon Medical Centers Selects ADP for Integrated HR, Payroll and Benefits

ROSELAND, N.J., June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ADP ®, a leading provider of human resource outsourcing, payroll services, benefits administration and integrated computing solutions for vehicle dealers, today announced that Leon Medical Centers, a leading health care provider for Medicare patients in Miami-Dade County, Florida has selected an integrated, outsourced solution from ADP to more efficiently manage the majority of its critical human capital management needs.  A family-owned business, Leon Medical Centers is a locally recognized leader in innovative healthcare, offering culturally sensitive healthcare services tailored to the needs of the Miami-Dade County community.  The company operates seven centers employing a staff of approximately 1,800 employees.

Leon Medical Centers' selection of ADP is further evidence that ADP is fast becoming the leading provider of human capital management tools to organizations in the healthcare industry.  Healthcare providers throughout the United States are electing to partner with ADP for its human resources, payroll and benefits administration expertise, as well as its deep industry knowledge in an era of new healthcare regulations and reform.

"ADP's integrated service delivery model was extremely appealing to us and is helping our organization avoid manual efforts so we can more effectively focus on our core business goal of bringing quality healthcare services to the Medicare population in Miami-Dade County," said Maritza Pereira, Vice President of Human Resources at Leon Medical Centers.  "Our company is a heavy user of HR data and ADP allows us to run real time reporting and have immediate access into our data allowing for more control and confidence in our payroll and HR data.  ADP's service delivery has also been excellent and our payrolls have never been more accurate."

Leon Medical Centers worked closely with ADP to replace its existing HR, payroll and benefits systems with a highly integrated ADP HCM solution.  ADP provides a human resources, benefits and payroll solution that is configurable and provides the structure for a complete employee lifecycle management system.  Since the solution is cloud-based, the cost of maintaining, upgrading and supporting hardware is eliminated.  ADP also provides in-depth process support to allow Leon Medical centers to offload many of the administrative aspects that previously came with managing HR, payroll and benefits in-house.  

"By working closely with Leon Medical Centers, we were able to get their new solution up and running fairly quickly and avoid any disruptions to their ability to continue providing care to their patients," said Carlos Rodriguez, President and Chief Operating Officer, ADP.  "Once the successful parallel tests were performed, the solution now seamlessly handles many of the HR, payroll, and benefits functions that were previously managed by Leon Medical Center's staff.  We are excited to partner with Leon Medical to help them serve the community."

As healthcare providers confront the challenges of a new era, ADP is committed to delivering industry leading human capital management solutions specifically tailored to meet the needs of the healthcare industry. ADP technology, service and healthcare expertise enable innovative providers such as Leon Medical Centers to focus ever more intently on delivering quality care for generations young and old.

ADP helps healthcare organizations focus on operational efficiencies and process improvement, while also streamlining and containing costs. As healthcare organizations strive to do more with less, many are partnering with ADP to deliver the process improvements and operational efficiencies required to control costs and sustain patient services.  Critical to this continuous improvement approach is ADP's ability to deliver proven, integrated payroll/HR services that drive efficiencies into every employee, manager and administrator interaction.  ADP's payroll and HR solutions help healthcare organizations to:

• Automate, consolidate and outsource payroll, HR and benefit administration processes;
• Leverage manager and employee self service to improve service levels and reduce manual support needs;
• Manage shift labor and employee hours via automated tools that flow directly into the payroll system;
• Develop integrated, management reporting and analytics that improve workforce transparency;
• Modernize and manage systems without straining capital budgets or IT resources; and,
• Keep pace with fast-changing healthcare, tax and labor regulations.

An ADP-sponsored research study by PwC found that outsourcing multiple HR functions to a single vendor can reduce an organization's costs by 24 percent, on average.  The study also revealed that outsourcing, and not simply moving to SaaS (Software as a Service) produces greater efficiencies and cost savings in the HR function.  A complimentary copy of "The Hidden Reality of Payroll & HR Administration Costs" study can be obtained at www.adp.com/tco2011.
