Part 4: How EHR Concepts Redefines eLearning

Training is almost universally a requirement for nearly every industry and profession. But few fields require as much training as healthcare does, and for good reason—medical practitioners are in charge of other people’s lives and well-being. Adding the mandate of using technology to document, everything adds another layer of complexity.  Effective training of the technology, particularly the EHR, is imperative.

EHR Concepts has redefined learning for the healthcare industry specifically in the context of Electronic Health Records (EHR) training by focusing on several key areas.

Targeted Training: EHR systems are complex and have functionalities specific to different user roles. EHR Concepts has expertise in the complexities of different EHR platforms and tailored programs to each client’s specific EHR system and workflows. This laser focus makes the learning more relevant and applicable to staff members’ daily tasks. This ensures that staff learn what they absolutely need for their job duties and eliminates anything not relevant.

A Focus on Efficiency and Geared to Adult Learners: Healthcare professionals are busy adults who learn best in short bursts through practical application. EHR Concepts recognizes the time constraints of healthcare workers and uses micro-learning modules (bite-sized) interactive scenario-based lessons that are concise and can be completed at the learner’s own pace. This targeted approach saves valuable time compared to lengthy traditional training programs and gets medical staff back to the business of seeing patients instead of sitting in a classroom.

ROI for Healthcare Organizations:

EHR Concepts understands the financial pressures on healthcare organizations. That’s why their eLearning programs are designed to deliver a strong return on investment (ROI).

• Providing Cost-Effective, Comprehensive Training Solutions: By reducing onboarding times and the need for in-person training sessions, EHR Concepts’ eLearning programs offer a cost-effective solution for healthcare organizations facing budget constraints. Staff can learn at their own pace, and organizations can avoid the high costs associated with traditional software training and onboarding training methods. While focused on EHR, EHR Concepts also provides eLearning modules on broader healthcare IT needs, such as leadership development and compliance. This approach streamlines training efforts for healthcare organizations, all while offering cost-effective training solutions.
• Maximizing ROI: EHR Concepts’ eLearning programs’ efficiency and adaptability translate to a strong return on investment (ROI) for healthcare organizations. EHR Concepts’ eLearning helps organizations get the most out of their training budget with reduced onboarding times, improved staff productivity, and cost savings.

Choosing the Perfect Learning Management System (LMS) for Your Needs

Not all LMS platforms are created equal! Here’s how to find the one that empowers your team, now and in the future:

1. Invest in Stellar Support:
   Imagine a smooth LMS rollout – but even the best tech can have hiccups. Choose an LMS with robust support.

2. Unleash the Power of Data:
   Modern LMS platforms offer rich insights into your training programs. See who’s completing courses, identify areas where learners drop off, and use this data to improve your training continuously! Prioritize platforms with robust reporting and analytics to measure success and optimize your training strategy.

3. Identify Your Training Needs:
   What are your current training challenges? What are you hoping to achieve with an LMS? Keeping these goals at the forefront will help you choose a platform that directly addresses your needs. For example, if keeping staff engaged is a concern, prioritize an LMS that offers interactive courses or gamification features.

Overall, EHR Concepts is redefining eLearning for EHR training in healthcare by making it targeted, efficient, accessible, and relevant to the specific needs of healthcare organizations.

How to Train Your Entire Staff Every 3-6 Months for EHR Upgrades Using EHR Concepts eLearning Training Methodology

The EHR upgrade cycle can be a training challenge, but EHR Concepts’ eLearning methodology is a great asset in keeping your staff up to speed so your organization can tackle this training conundrum. EHRC does this by utilizing the following:

• Modular Design: EHR Concepts breaks down the EHR upgrade training into smaller, interactive, bite-sized modules that target specific functionalities or workflows introduced in the upgrade. This lets staff quickly focus on what’s new and complete the training.
• Microlearning: EHR Concepts utilizes microlearning techniques within the modules. These short bursts of learning can be easily integrated into staff’s busy schedules.
• Targeted Training: EHR Concepts works with clients to identify staff roles and assign relevant training modules. Not all staff may need to learn everything about the upgrade. We focus on the functionalities most relevant to a staff member’s duties.
• Blended Learning: EHRC can combine eLearning modules with short, instructor-led webinars, chat, or social learning functionalities, all within our LMS. We host for you, so there is no lift on your already maxed-out IT departments. This can be particularly helpful for complex upgrades.
• Self-Assessments: EHRC includes interactive training opportunities in every module. Quizzes and knowledge checks within the eLearning modules allow staff to gauge their understanding and identify areas needing further review.
• Track and Schedule: EHRC utilizes a learning management system (LMS) to track staff completion of training modules. This helps identify who needs training so it can be assigned and completed efficiently based on each client’s training timeline. We host and manage the LMS, so your team will not be lifted.

EHR Concepts’ eLearning methodology delivers effective and efficient training for your staff during EHR upgrades, even if your EHR has a frequent training cycle. Remember, the key to our success is we make the training targeted, modular, and accessible to fit your staff’s busy schedules.
