Your best charge nurse just trained her replacement. Does the job description know what she’s actually certified to do?
A governed, audit-ready job description library for hospitals and health systems — built on SAP® SuccessFactors®.
JDMS® is an award-winning job description management solution. For healthcare, that means standardized, defensible job content across every clinical and non-clinical role, department, and facility — not scattered Word docs and institutional memory.
Somewhere in your health system, a nurse manager is pulled out of a staff meeting because a Joint Commission surveyor wants to see the position description for a rapid-response nurse. The version on file predates the unit’s current scope-of-practice policy, the certifications it now requires, and the service line it was expanded to cover. Job descriptions like this exist by the thousands across a health system — until a survey, a lawsuit, or a licensing board asks to see one.
None of this shows up on an org chart — until it does.
Eventually, someone asks the question your job library can’t answer.
A Joint Commission surveyor asks whether a rapid-response nurse’s job description reflects her actual certifications. A wage-hour claim turns on whether a charge nurse’s duties were ever properly classified. A new hire is asked to perform a task nobody documented as within her scope. For a health system running thousands of clinical and non-clinical job descriptions across multiple facilities, it isn’t a matter of if — it’s when.

Built for health systems already running SAP® SuccessFactors®.
We’ve enhanced JDMS specifically for SAP SuccessFactors customers, typically with 1,000+ employees, using the SAP Business Technology Platform — the profile of most hospital systems and health networks. It offers a fully integrated, seamless end-user experience for workforces spanning bedside care, clinical support, and shared services.
Pre-integrated to SAP SuccessFactors — including Succession — so a veteran nurse’s actual scope of practice feeds directly into who’s ready to step into her role.
A seamless experience for a workforce that’s rarely at a desk — bedside staff and clinicians can access accurate job information without a new system to learn.
Next to zero change management, since staff — and their unions — never have to leave SAP SuccessFactors to see what’s official.
Built by a team health systems already trust with SAP SuccessFactors.
