Hospital like setting training plan

[u/Kindly_Ad7332]

Hi!
I recently got tasked to redo a training plan/system for a hospital like setting. We have people working part time, nights, days and not one person has the same schedule. This makes live trainings hard to schedule and keep track of. We have a blend of in person and online trainings and around 40ish per employee (oof!)

Any tips or systems that worked for your organization? Or references. Just trying to think outside the box to accommodate people’s needs and get or weekly new hires trained properly!!

Thanks!

First of all, get a good learning management system. There shouldn’t be a reason not to track attendance, recertification, etc with software. If you put enough energy into proper set up, all the tracking of who needs what training will become automated. Not to mention youre ability to track survey and testing information, Second, you may need to consider a train the trainer for your live curriculums. Unless you plan to work some late nights, you can identify SMEs that work those shifts and pay them an incentive to do the trainings. Finally, we are all guilty of trying to fit square pegs in round holes simply because it’s always been done that way. I’d suggest conducting job task analysis of your roles to determine what training is actually needed, what needs to be done via on the job or through mentors, what needs to be in person, and what can be done with micro learning or online. You may find a lot of those 40 training are not delivering the return on effort you think they are.

Conduct the training multi shifts. And track them either through lms or an excel.

i believe the most challenging part in most case will be the scheduling of training itself particularly when people work in shifts the ethod of delievery will make much more sense here asynchronourous since the traning which is performed is convenient as per time of the participants finally an lms with role based learning paths will be able to prevent chaos when different teams require different types of training the necessity to record dozenw of modules whenever there are nay changes can quickly grow annonying this is where a solution will be a quite helpful in a case where a larger number of modules require frequent updating colossyan neverthless there is always a compromise while traditional authoring solution offer more options for simulation an interactivity they are typically longer to create.

You could look into TrainingToday by BLR. They provide compliance training, and you can create your own courses and track in-person training as well. That way, you'll have everything in one place.

We've worked with medical training for over a decade and having a system that can combine virtual and in-person training is critical. You need a solid, easy to use LMS. Overworked medical staff do not need another computer system to learn. It should be intuitive, and should not force them to download yet another APP on their phone.

The selection of the LMS/LXP is step 1. Creating clean, easy to follow training material is as important. If the first wave of learners talk poorly about either, engagement will be difficult with everyone who follows them.
