a company's existing HR portal and feeds information into a current
HRMS system.
Rbenefits makes it easy for new hires and those newly eligible to
enroll in benefits and existing employees to make election changes due
to work and life qualifying events such as benefit eligibility (30
days of hire), return from leave, marriage, birth or adoption of
child, etc.
As a part of its education campaign, AHA is releasing an English and
Spanish language 30 second public service announcement that urges everyone,
regardless of age, to talk with their family, friends and caregivers today,
and then to sign an advance directive in order to avoid difficult, often
heart-wrenching decisions later.

Nuvosoft's Rbenefits Brings Easy-to-Implement Web-based Benefits Administration to Mid-Sized Organizations

With Rbenefits, companies eliminate the paper processing of forms
and reduce the number of calls during the open enrollment process due
to an intuitive user interface and quality online help .
"With recent headlines and national attention focused on this issue, we've
heard from our hospitals that patients, families and employees are seeking
additional information."
Since December 1991, the Patient Self Determination Act has required
hospitals to provide information on advance directives at the time of patient
admission or enrollment. The goal of this campaign is to help
hospitals better educate both staff and the public about their options when it
comes to advance directives.

patients and the public on patient self-determination and, because hospitals
