Case Study: McFarland Clinic achieves high staff engagement and instant access to critical documents with Jostle Corporation

A Paradigm Shift to A Next-Generation Intranet

McFarland Clinic, central Iowa’s largest physician-owned multi‑specialty clinic with 1,300 employees across 12 communities, relied on an aging FrontPage intranet that left staff dispersed by geography and buried under hard-to-find, frequently changing forms, policies, and procedures. The clinic needed a next‑generation intranet with reliable search, up‑to‑date content ownership, and better ways for employees to connect and collaborate.

They implemented Jostle integrated with Google Apps—single sign‑on, curated LIBRARY volumes, robust search, profiles and social news—launched with a staged rollout and low‑friction training. The result: quick access to critical documents, lively news engagement, and exceptional adoption (about 91% weekly and 99% monthly logins), faster responses to perks and communications, and stronger organizational connection across their dispersed workforce.
