Ascension plans to outsource more of its technology support services, which will displace 651 of its employees, the health system said in Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act letter.
Most of the impacted employees work remotely, according to the notice dated April 27, which also noted that employees can apply for other positions in its information technology services arm Ascension Technologies as well as with the third-party vendor. The St. Louis-based health system made similar moves with its Michigan-based IT workforce last summer, which impacted more than 200 employees. Ascension Technologies, after extended discernment and as part of its technology transformation, has made the decision to engage a third-party to perform the work currently performed by employees providing technology support for various electronic health record, revenue cycle and other ancillary systems, the notice reads.
