HealthcareSource offers a suite of software products that cater to the needs of healthcare organizations. One of their prominent offerings is the Position Manager, which is utilized for job requisitions and applicant tracking across the organization. Users have found this tool to be effective in streamlining the hiring process and centralizing all applicants from various locations. The software has been described as user-friendly and has proven to be an invaluable resource for HR teams in managing in-house vacancies. Employees also benefit from the Position Manager by being able to easily apply for vacancies and share application links with others.

Another key use case is the Performance Manager, which facilitates leadership and staff common review date appraisals. This tool has positively impacted employee involvement in appraisals, goal setting, and communication with supervisors. It enables a more structured and efficient approach to performance reviews, enhancing overall employee management within the organization. Furthermore, HealthcareSource's NetLearning platform serves as a core Learning Management System for education compliance and documenting completion of training and certifications. All employees utilize this e-learning platform to stay updated on organizational policies and procedures, ensuring compliance standards are met throughout the healthcare organization.

Lastly, HealthcareSource serves as a recruitment tool in the HR department, aiding them in attracting top talent. The software's applicant tracking capabilities have received positive feedback from users who find it effective for managing the entire recruiting process, from application submission to hiring. Additionally, it acts as a central repository for applicants across all locations, creating a more coherent and organized approach to recruitment.

In summary, HealthcareSource's suite of software products provides valuable solutions for HR teams and employees alike in healthcare organizations. The Position Manager simplifies applicant tracking and facilitates internal hiring processes, while the Performance Manager improves performance appraisal procedures and enhances employee engagement. NetLearning ensures education compliance and keeps employees up-to-date with organizational policies. Overall, these tools contribute to streamlining operations and improving efficiency within healthcare organizations.

Strong Integration with HRIS System: Several users have praised the integration and file feeds between HealthcareSource's products and their core HRIS system, Lawson. This feature has been stated as a significant strength that saves organizations with a large number of employees a significant amount of time.

User-Friendly Interface: Many reviewers have appreciated the user-friendly and intuitive interface of HealthcareSource's software. They have found it easy to use with minimal training, and training documents available on the HR Intranet site have proven effective for new employees.

Robust Reporting Capabilities: Both Performance Manager and Position Manager have met users' reporting needs. Performance Manager offers a custom reporting interface that allows users to create reports as needed, while Position Manager provides many built-in reports along with the option for custom reports.

Slow communication with support team: Some users have reported that the communication with the support team is slow, especially when it needs to move to a higher tier.

Lack of advanced notice for system updates: Several reviewers have expressed their dissatisfaction with the company's practice of providing release notes only 1-2 days before the system is updated. They suggest that it would be more beneficial to receive these notes a few weeks in advance.

Limited custom reporting and database access: A number of users have mentioned their desire for full custom reporting capability and full read-only database access. They feel that having these features would allow them to combine the software's data with their HRIS data in one report.

We currently use NetLearning as our core Learning Management System across our system. It helps us to manage large system-wide application rollouts as well as maintain our Mosby and BLS classes.
  • It is a basic system, so it allows a basic level user to maneuver with ease.
  • SoftChalk is a basic authoring tool which assists in the creation of our modules.
  • NetManager allows for trainers to manage their classes from start to finish.
  • NetLearning does not appear to be advancing its software, but more only focusing on maintenance.
  • The functionality for an administrator is cumbersome and not always intuitive.
  • Mass module uploading capability is non-existent.
I would recommend this LMS for a smaller organization. It has difficulty with scalability.
  • NetLearning has been a good tool for us as we remain in individualized databases.
We are preparing to go to RFP within our organization.
We need to determine if NetLearning has the ability to increase its abilities as our business grows.

NetLearning is being used by our organization to onboard new employees and ensure that they have the correct new employee orientation. It is also used for certifications, such as BLS and ACLS, where the employees can complete the online didactic portion as well as sign up for the in person class. We also track any training for the hospital as well as CEU credits for nurses. Since they need their hours tracked to maintain their hours, this is very beneficial to our nursing staff.
  • When submitting tickets for NetLearning, the helpdesk is quick to respond to requests.
  • When helping you with a NetLearning issue, the helpdesk will call and walk you through what was incorrect, so that you know how to fix it in the future.
  • The NetLearning University Anytime Links are not accurate. So, after trying to fix an issue myself, I had wasted a large portion of time trying to follow directions and complete myself.
  • The training times are in a different time zone and most of them are before I start work for the day.
I believe NetLearning is a beneficial source, especially in a hospital setting where there are a large amount of trainings, certifications, or classes that need to be tracked. There is still a lot more I can learn within NetLearning, but the potential of what else can be done is great to look forward to.
  • NetLearning has increased our nursing CEU credits with the most efficiency. Now nurses can take courses on NetLearning and have it track their hours.
  • On a compliance standpoint, NetLearning has benefited us when we are being audited and we have to show what trainings or classes an employee has made. Also, to make sure that their certifications are up to date.
I have used HealthStream to manage classes for another hospital, but find that NetLearning has many more options and ability to go above and beyond with educating our employees.
We will continue using NetLearning because it does what we need it to do from a compliance and educational standpoint.

The healthcare organization I work for uses Performance Manager offered by HealthcareSource. It is used by every employee in the organization and has had a significant positive impact on employee's involvement in their annual appraisals, goal setting and communication with their supervisors. This program is very user friendly and has allowed our employees to engage in their career and more actively participate in their future with the organization. In the long run we see this lowering turnover rates, increasing productivity and allowing us in HR to see the areas we need to focus on for training purposes (i.e. communication, job skills, trust in leadership).
  • When any company implements a new program they have specific needs that they want customized for them. Healthcare source did a great job providing excellent customer service to our HR and IT professionals working behind the scenes to help us maximize the programs potential at our organization. They did not limit us to any standard uses or prohibit us from reaching our internal goals. Some examples include specialized reports, data uploads of employee data and time frames for our annual reviews.
  • They provided us with training and retraining and more training on using the system. This included training new members of our team when we had turnover in HR and inviting us to conferences and webcasts regularly.
  • The presentation of the software was very appealing and that may seem small but it really helps appeal to the employees that use it for their reviews.
  • The communication between our HR IS system and their platform was cumbersome, this is always a tough spot to work with when trying to get two systems to communicate without having to rework the data. We did reach a point of success and it was due to the work on both sides.
  • I would have liked to have seen the way other healthcare organizations used the system.
  • It took a long time to get a chance to meet some of the team members from HealthcareSource due to our locations and once we did have a face to face meeting I felt much more connected with the team.
In order to be successful in the implementation and progress of PerformanceManager, the organization needs to dedicate internal team members to be trained and communicate with the HealthcareSource team. While they are very supportive, it is essential to have that internal team working with employees and communicating inquires and questions back to HealthcareSource when needed.
  • We found a connection between performance appraisals and employee engagement, this allowed our organization to focus in on areas we needed more resources for employees (i.e. providing employees with their job description so they know what is expected of them before their first day on of employment).
  • Performance Manager was an outlet we used to increase communication between employees and their supervisors and communication is key to a successful organization.
  • By using the data over the years we will be able to see how Performance Manager has decreased our employee turnover.
I have seem other products such as Success Factors and Softscape, we went with HealthcareSource because we really like PerformanceManager but also because we planned to expand our use of their products for other areas of the talent management spectrum and eventually started using their Compensation and Position Manager products too.
Looking back we can say that every year we used Performance Manager and other products too like HeathcareSource's Compensation and Position Manager we saw the ease of use for employees and HR staff members increase, we saw employees getting more comfortable with the product and HR Staff getting better at expressing their needs to the HealthcareSource team and this made us want to stay with the same company, when things are getting better each year we know we are in the right place.

I used HealthcareSource as a recruitment tool when I worked for 2 hospitals at their HR department in a capacity of Recruitment Specialist.
It is a user-friendly and effective ATS and I enjoyed using it.
  • Provides a full picture and a history of the relationship the organization had with an applicant.
  • Every step in the recruitment/hiring process is done through the ATS software.
  • Navigation within the program is easy and user-friendly. From sending an invitation to a denial-note it is there easily accessible.
  • Administrative functions are harder to use
  • Applicants can apply multiple times for the same open req.
  • Alerts are not a full feature.
No - in my opinion it is a wonderful tool!
  • I have listed the positive/advantages of the tool.
  • I have listed the negative/shortfalls of the tool
  • I would love to use it again.
  • None

We use it as our Applicant Tracking System. The whole organization uses it to enter Jobs and Review Candidates. It streamlines the Recruiting Communication between HR and Hiring Managers.
  • Ability to communicate with Hiring Managers
  • Ease of use for Hiring Managers
  • Ease of use, have to open multiple tabs to streamline
  • Layout is not very visually appealing
Wish the application was clearer where applicants should upload resume.
  • Better customer service to our Hiring Managers
I am not the decision maker.
