How The Lucile Packard Foundation Enhances Healthcare Services with Hire2Retire Automation

One in five children in the United States has a special health care need—a physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition that requires more than routine health services. However, due to limited access to specialists and proper care, these children and their families often experience poor health outcomes and higher costs. To transform this scenario and improve health for all kids and parents, the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health (LPFCH) stands out as the sole fundraising entity for child and maternal health at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford and the Stanford School of Medicine.

Since 1997, the foundation has raised funds for programs and projects that contribute to improving systems of care for children and youth with special health care needs and their families. By channeling resources into philanthropy, research support, advocacy, and community engagement, today, it has become a national leader in driving health care systems change and a beacon of hope for many families and children with complex medical needs.

To broaden its reach and impact, LPFCH has significantly expanded its team to over 200 employees. However, it still managed employee lifecycle processes manually. Each time an employee was hired, terminated, or their role changed, the IT team had to manually update these changes in Active Directory. This manual process was time-consuming and often resulted in delays in providing necessary resources for new hires, removing access for terminated employees, updating role changes, and many other core processes.

To address these challenges, LPFCH began searching for a solution that could automate its employee lifecycle processes in real-time and ensure the security of its data with a proper role-based access control system.
