Customer Insights
“We recently migrated to the newest version of Midas (v11). The symplr services team did an amazing job with our transition. They were by our side in planning, implementation, and post-go-live providing advice, listening to our needs, and keeping everything moving forward. Not only is Midas v11 a great product, symplr has the right team to facilitate success.” – Austin R. Ramos, Quality Systems Analyst at University Medical Center of El Paso
“The option to utilize symplr’s Short Form Assessment has been a wonderful tool for Sinceri Senior Living. We find that more applicants are completing the assessment, allowing us to speed up the onboarding process and hire great candidates.” – Kaylee Frye, Recruitment and Retention Manager at Sinceri Senior Living
“I cannot emphasize enough the significance of the partnership with the onboarding team from symplr in getting us on the path of doing the training, education, who needs to be trained, what information needs to be done, etc. 90% of the work was given to us on a silver platter. That was really helpful, especially on my end, because there are so many projects in supply chain and so many nuances that needed to be addressed.” – Dr. Lobel Lurie, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, NPD-BC, CVAHP, Clinical Value Analysis Manager at Cone Health
