KEEP YOUR STAFF TRAINED AND DOCUMENTED |
"Specialization is a feature of every complex organization, be it social or natural,
a school system, garden, book, or mammalian body", said Catharine R. Stimpson ,
U.S. scholar and educator in the Chronicle of Higher Education in 1992. No where
does specialization converge more so than in the wide range of training required
to support the diverse specialties in a hospital. Even at a moderate sized facility,
the combinations of training needs are substantial. ContinuTrac Medical (CTM) provides
a structure organized to deliver a solid way to cross this morass of detail.
CTM was written for hospitals to easily manage their educational program. The earliest
versions were designed, developed and tested over a period of several years at one
of America's top 100 hospitals. The best staff and clinical educators played a key
role in the design of CTM, making it a comprehensive application that minimizes
data entry challenges and manual intervention.
The years of development and use have proven the effectiveness of the class and
course structure that CTM uses. A class represents a meeting, not just formal curriculum.
For instance, a staff meeting can be considered a class. Classes may also include
learning opportunities beyond what is taught with formal training, such as:
-
CEUs and more
-
Conferences and lectures
-
Grand Rounds
-
Lunch and Learn
- Non-credit programs
Courses are groups of classes. Courses establish a group of classes that are related
to training needed to achieve a specific capability or result. Courses include all
work essential to assist its staff in maintaining licensure, certification and encouraging
career growth. Organizing classes into courses helps direct staff along the path
to achieving the outcome desired, and monitoring their progress toward it.
"I was spending many days setting up classes and entering data. Now it only takes
part of a day. The screens are simple and common sense. Courses and classes are
easy to set up", said Denise Morrow, Education Office Coordinator at Memorial Hospital
in Chattanooga, TN.
The class and course relationship provides substantial benefits over substantial,
undifferentiated lists of classes. When used in conjunction with job codes and department
structures, staff can define and successfully take a clear course to improved performance
and capability, and do so in a way that future employees in similar jobs can follow.
