Case Study: Advocate Health unifies finance, HR, and supply chain with Workday

Advocate Health unifies 69 hospitals and 1,000 sites with Workday

Advocate Health, the third-largest nonprofit integrated health system in the U.S., faced significant operational challenges following a series of mergers. The organization was left with a complex web of disparate systems that created financial and administrative burdens, making it difficult to achieve data accuracy and a unified view across its enterprise. This lack of synchronization between core functions like finance and HR meant there was no single source of truth for critical data.

To address this, Advocate Health selected and deployed Workday Financial Management, Human Capital Management, and Supply Chain Management for Healthcare. The implementation of the Workday platform drove immediate standardization and visibility, providing leaders with one source of truth for financial data and eliminating the need for multiple system logins. This created operational efficiencies and a greatly improved experience for teammates, allowing frontline workers like nurse managers to spend less time on administrative tasks and more time supporting patients and staff.
