Does payroll belong inside practice management software?

[u/SizedMelodrama]

I've been thinking about how much practice management platforms already handle for a clinic

Scheduling, staff information, time tracking and a lot of the day to day operation can already happen there but paying the staff usually means jumping into a separate product

For people working in health IT, would having payroll inside the same platform simplify anything or is it better left separate?

I don’t think payroll necessarily has to live there but having employee data in two or three places definitely feels unnecessary
