Automate Position Requests

Healthcare is adding jobs faster than any other industry. To keep pace, organizations need scalable strategies to manage open positions and stay aligned with staffing budgets.

Today, validating position requests requires manual data extraction and data mapping from multiple source systems in a time-consuming process. Position Control integrates StrataJazz with enterprise resource planning (ERP) and human capital management (HCM) systems to prevent discrepancies in data sets and ensure that leaders have a comprehensive financial picture. Requests can be imported from third-party systems, processed, and exported back into those systems, creating a complete feedback loop.

Purpose-built dashboards provide full visibility into workforce metrics — such as FTE-to-headcount ratios, budget vs. actuals, and role justification — enhancing transparency across departments. Mapping logic creates a shared language across business functions, smoothing integration and ensuring consistency across systems. 

Without strong position control, health systems struggle with inefficiencies, limited visibility, and fragmented planning — leading to over-hiring, unfilled roles, rising labor costs, and misaligned staffing. Without connected data sources or centralized governance, organizations are left vulnerable and miss opportunities to deploy their workforce as a true strategic asset.

 

Enhance collaboration, prevent overhiring, and reduce time to fill

Significant effort goes into preparing review materials as organizations must filter and prioritize requests based on department needs and role type. StrataJazz Position Control makes this easier by automatically evaluating requests using a smart rules engine and data from across the platform. 

The solution then speeds up hiring by automatically routing job requests to the right people. The system uses pre-built rules and organizational data to send requests to the appropriate stakeholders, while automated validation catches issues early. This creates a transparent process that helps teams work together more effectively. When a request gets approved, it automatically becomes an active job posting.

 

Bi-directional ERP Integration:

Requests can be imported from third-party systems and exported back once actioned to create a complete feedback loop.

Automated approvals aligned with your thresholds:

The rules engine pulls in budget, productivity, monthly finances, and external benchmarks to assess position justification.

Intuitive and efficient workflow:

Configurable workflows and rulesets route requests to the right people and provide the right data for decision-making.

Align position requests with your budget and vacancy plan

Differences between financial budgets and HR’s position tracking make it difficult to align requests with budgets. With Position Control, detailed request information includes the financial impact of the position and whether the role supports strategic vacancy optimization — ensuring all hiring decisions align with organizational financial targets and constraints. The Position Control rules engine uses financial, operational, and productivity data to validate justifications for new roles. Rule-based indicators help ensure alignment with labor standards and materiality thresholds. 

Justification rules can be grouped by focus area — such as labor or productivity — and may incorporate:
