Perceptive Software, creator of enterprise content management software including ImageNow, announces that Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY) will deploy ImageNow for its human resources function.

The Visiting Nurse Service of New York is the largest not-for-profit home health care organization in the country. In 2008, the organization provided nearly 2.5 million clinician visits covering everything from pre-natal to end-of-life care to more than 138,600 patients in the New York metropolitan area.

VNSNY will use ImageNow to create paperless employee personnel files, while using ImageNow Workflow to streamline current business processes and automate paper-intensive areas within the human resources function. Flexible and scalable, Perceptive Software's human resources solution will seamlessly integrate with VNSNY's PeopleSoft application, leading to a quick implementation, yielding a rapid return on investment.

"Throughout our selection process, Perceptive understood what we wanted to do: provide an online source of personnel-related documentation that is easy to use and maintain, and a robust workflow engine that our functional administrators can manage," said Denise Davin, vice president for human resources, Visiting Nurse Service of New York. "We'll be able to this with ImageNow and its seamless connection to our PeopleSoft HRMS. The demonstrated functionality and excellent references we obtained from Perceptive's extended healthcare client base were key factors in our selection process."

Future plans call for VNSNY to scale ImageNow into other business areas, including patient records.
