Since August, legacy Providence Health & Services (PHS) Shared Services organizations have been using the IQNavigator (IQN) platform to manage contingent labor/contractors, as well as external professional/contracting services via statement of work (SOW) agreements. As of Dec. 31, 2018, IQN will go live with all of PSJH Shared Services, including legacy St. Joseph Health (SJH), using IQN for contingent labor management. The IQN team within IS Administrative & Management Services has been working diligently with its finance and accounts payable partners to integrate IQN with SJH systems and processes.
Starting on December 31, you will see two organizations, one for Providence and one for St. Joseph. All current assignments and agreements will continue to be under the Providence instance. However, going forward, if you need to create a request or statement of work and utilize St. Joseph’s cost center, you will need to open the request under that organization. The functionality will all be the same with the exception of the cost centers.
The IQN team provides regular training sessions for hiring managers on a bi-monthly basis. They have also included some extra training sessions to accommodate the go-live and these changes. If you have any questions, please feel free to email the IQN team or visit the IQN SharePoint site.
