IASIS Rolls Out MCN Healthcare's edept™ Training Solutions as Its Enterprise Learning Management System Tue Jul 25, 12:00 am Leading Healthcare Learning Management System Empowers 11,000 Users at IASIS Healthcare DENVER – July 25, 2006 – MCN Healthcare (formerly Medical Consultants Network Inc.), one of the nation's leading healthcare publishing and education firms, today announced that IASIS Healthcare ("IASIS") has deployed MCN's learning management system, edept™ Training Solutions. IASIS has licensed edept™ for use by its 11,000 users in all of its facilities. Currently, over 1,000 IASIS employees access the edept™ system every day, taking advantage of the availability of over 700 high-quality clinical, compliance as well as billing and coding courses in the edept™ course libraries. "We wanted to make the biggest commitment to our staff that we could by providing over 700 courses to everyone," said Peter Stanos, vice president of ethics and business practices, IASIS Healthcare. "What this means is that our nurses and other clinical staff can obtain all of the licensure and course credits required online at no charge to the employee." IASIS chose edept™ Training Solutions because of the high quality of edept's course libraries, as well as the advanced features and ease of use of the edept™ system. The edept™ learning management system is providing IASIS with online staff training, unlimited continuing education (CE) credits, tools for management and tracking of in-service training and classroom instruction, advanced report builder tools, rapid course authoring tools, automated course assignments and completion deadline reminders, instant access to data, easy-to-use administrative tools, and an easy interface with IASIS's HR information system. "Watching what IASIS has done in terms of rolling out all of our course content to their entire staff through our edept™ learning management platform has been nothing short of inspiring," said Amanda Valeur, President, MCN Healthcare. "Some organizations talk a good game in terms of empowering employees, but IASIS has gone that extra mile to invest in ongoing training of their human capital." Two years ago, IASIS started licensing Compliance 360's Policy Manager that offers a library of over 16,000 MCN policies. IASIS selected edept™ Training Solutions to be its learning management system platform of choice beginning March 1, 2006. The motivation IASIS had for doing so was to integrate a very large amount of content and to do so through one partner. Additionally, IASIS was anxious to standardize on one platform that could manage all of their training needs. MCN's edept™ system now tracks all of the training universally for IASIS : including online as well as classroom training. The system was fully up and running in March of this year and so far over 43,000 courses have already been taken. One element to the deployment that is particular to the web-based edept™ system installed enterprise-wide at IASIS is that on every page of every course available, there is a feedback link. MCN can track that feedback as well as chart trends so that the company can monitor both the user's experience and the educator's experience. Modifications are made based on that feedback and courses are then further tailored to an individual facility's needs. "One of the challenges we had was to find a learning management system, which provided training solutions that catered to the different styles of learning among the individual facilities as well as different resources each institution has," noted Beverly McKenzie, compliance manager, IASIS Healthcare. "MCN's training platform has allowed us to meet the different needs of all of our facilities and also meet our corporate needs." Through edept™ Training Solutions, online training is coupled with a learning management system to provide both flexibility and affordability that allows healthcare providers to define their own comprehensive suite of solutions to meet their needs. MCN's edept™ Training Solutions offer flexibility so that users can access any specific training course on demand. With edept™ Training Solutions, users can access and take either one course or all that are available 24/7 at their convenience. The organization pays a low cost one-time set-up fee and most courses are available for less than a dollar per person.
