Ochsner Health Announces Launch of M7’s Workforce Management Platform

Ochsner Health and M7 Health announced the system-wide launch of M7’s workforce management platform across all Ochsner inpatient hospital campuses. In April 2025, Ochsner introduced a pilot with nursing teams at three of its hospitals. By the end of 2025, M7 was deployed across every inpatient nursing unit at all 47 hospitals in the Ochsner system, with expansion to additional frontline, shift-based teams planned for 2026. 

While hospitals have long relied on data and advanced tools to deliver complex clinical care, staffing decisions have historically depended on manual processes, spreadsheets, and fragmented communication.

Through M7 all inpatient nursing staff can express personalized schedule preferences, pick up open shifts, and manage their schedules in a simple, mobile-first interface, creating transparency that helps leaders make fairer decisions while reducing unnecessary interruptions. 

For nurse managers, house supervisors, and centralized staffing teams of approximately 9,000 team members, M7 replaces hours of manual work with automated, real-time decision support.

Following the system-wide nursing rollout, Ochsner and M7 are now expanding the platform to additional shift-based frontline teams, including surgical and procedural areas and other inpatient roles.
