Tenet to Bolster Personnel Management with Genesys

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — May 13, 1997 —In its continuing drive to increase efficiency and reduce costs, Tenet Healthcare Corporation (THC: NYSE, PSE) has begun installing new software to strengthen its personnel management.

Designed by Genesys, the software program, known as HealthCare HRMS, is expected to reduce human resource management costs by automating personnel records and integrating them into a companywide database. The database will include records on employee benefits, salaries, education, licensing and other personnel information.

"Having faster access to better human resource information is another example of how Tenet is using advanced technology to strengthen its operations," said Michael H. Focht Sr., Tenet's president and chief operating officer. "Each of Tenet's acute care hospitals, as well as its corporate and operating headquarters, will have access to more timely and comprehensive personnel information. By better understanding its human resources, Tenet will be able to lower costs while maintaining its high standards of healthcare delivery."

"Leaders in the rapid-pace healthcare industry recognize the need for systems that help them manage their resources more effectively," said Larry Munini, president of Genesys. "Tenet has turned to Genesys for the power of our products as well as our commitment to the unique needs of the healthcare industry." /p>

Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Genesys has already begun installing HealthCare HRMS at Tenet's corporate headquarters in Santa Barbara, Calif., and at its operations center in Dallas. The system, which is expected to be functional at these locations within six to 12 months, also will be installed at all of Tenet's 127 acute care hospitals during the next two years.

Headquartered in Methuen, Mass., Genesys provides hundreds of major organizations, including many Fortune 500 companies, with powerful human resource management systems (HRMS) solutions, including integrated three-tier client/server software products and a full-service HRMS outsourcing option. Genesys also develops HRMS for organizations in specific markets, such as healthcare, higher education and the public sector.
