Case Study: Ochsner Health achieves 90% faster executive reporting and more time for patient care with Workday Adaptive Planning

Ochsner gains more time to focus on exceptional patient care

Ochsner Health System, a 17,000‑employee healthcare network serving patients in the U.S. and more than 80 countries, faced rapid growth that was hampered by manual processes, decentralization, and inflexible systems. To scale efficiently and free staff from administrative tasks so they could focus on patient care, cross‑functional leaders prioritized a unified human capital, payroll, and talent management solution.

Ochsner implemented Workday’s cloud HR, payroll, and talent suite, gaining standardized processes, mobile self‑service, real‑time analytics, and improved payroll flexibility to support acquisitions. Results included an 11‑month deployment for 17,000 employees, 75% of users logging in within the first three weeks, and executive reporting created 90% faster, alongside reduced payroll rework and better workforce planning.
