QHR Software Inc. is pleased to announce Banff Mineral Springs Hospital (BMSH) is now 'live' with Quadrant HR's Staff Scheduling module. This will enable BMSH to streamline their scheduling process for their 200 employees.

BMSH has been a QHR Software payroll client since March 2000. The addition of Quadrant HR Staff Scheduling will eliminate the redundancies and frustrations associated with a third-party scheduling tool. More important, the addition of Staff Scheduling will complement the Quadrant HR Payroll module they use today.

Linda Laing, Manager of the BMSH Human Resources and Payroll Departments says, "We were very happy to implement an integrated payroll and scheduling system. Rework and error will be virtually eliminated which will save time and money. The support we have received from the QHR team has been fantastic."

BMSH estimates they will realize the following benefits by replacing their previous Staff Scheduling system with Quadrant HR's:

• reduce the support and maintenance of two servers to one with full integration between Quadrant HR Staff Scheduling and Payroll.


• elimate timecard imports/exports saving approximately 58 hours each pay period.


• create schedules on the fly, using master rotations or any combination of both - eliminating time and effort for workarounds.

These two fully integrated modules will help streamline Payroll and Staff Scheduling to better manage the growing complexity of their workforce.

Banff Mineral Springs Hospital is located in the Town of Banff, 130 kilometres west of Calgary, Alberta in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. It is sponsored by the Alberta Catholic Hospital Corporation, cooperates with the Calgary Health Region in the provision of health services and is governed by a local Board of Directors.
