Genesys Announces PeopleComeFirst Healthcare Learning Advantage, A Comprehensive Learning Solution for Healthcare Organizations Extensive Healthcare Courseware Library, Job and Competency Database, and Learning and Competency Management System Provide Turn-Key Learning Solution to Streamline Mandatory and Ongoing Training METHUEN, Mass. — July 24, 2002 — Genesys, a provider of software and outsourcing services for learning management, human resource (HR) management, payroll, and benefits, announced today the availability of PeopleComeFirst Healthcare Learning Advantage, a comprehensive learning solution designed specifically for healthcare organizations. Healthcare Learning Advantage meets JCAHO and HIPAA training and documentation requirements, as well as those of other regulatory organizations, and addresses the ongoing learning needs of medical and business professionals within the healthcare enterprise. PeopleComeFirst Healthcare Learning Advantage is offered through integration partnerships with Graphic Ed, the leading developer of training courses designed to meet the education requirements of JCAHO, HIPAA, OSHA, and other accreditation and regulatory organizations, and the WynnLyn Group, architects of a healthcare job description and competency database that gives organizations the ability to quickly develop unique, detailed job descriptions and consistent evaluation tools for virtually any healthcare position. Healthcare Learning Advantage gives healthcare organizations a cost-efficient, easy-to-implement learning solution that will facilitate the JCAHO review process and reduce compliance costs. Additionally, it gives organizations a solution to facilitate ongoing training programs and foster employee development. Integrated components include:
"We've worked very closely with human resources specialists in healthcare organizations throughout the development of PeopleComeFirst Learning," said Steve Munini, chief developer of PeopleComeFirst Learning and director of advanced technology for Genesys. "Early on, we realized that competency management and the ability to relate specific training according to needs assessments were essential ingredients to any effective healthcare learning solution." "Through our partnership with Graphic Ed and WynnLyn Group, we're now able to offer long-term and acute-care organizations a cost efficient, highly configurable solution that covers all aspects of a competency-based learning program tailored to individual employee needs. Our collective experience in helping organizations streamline mandatory review processes means we can offer significant dollar and time savings that go far beyond the cost benefits typically associated with e-learning." For instance, a hospital can use PeopleComeFirst Healthcare Learning Advantage to identify the competencies (skills, general knowledge, and behaviors) required for registered nurses in the emergency room. After performing competency assessments to determine actual proficiencies, supervisors can then assign specific courses to meet employee development needs and to meet mandatory training requirements. All learning activities - including e-learning courses, classroom training, seminars, and reading assignments -- can be tracked and managed via the Internet or a corporate intranet. Pre- and post-assessments measure, report, and track mastery of the course material for internal and state reporting needs. Healthcare Learning Advantage is available as a licensed solution for installation on corporate intranets or as a hosted solution, using the state-of-the-art data center facilities located within Genesys headquarters. A demo is available on request. About Graphic Ed Graphic Ed is a healthcare digital learning company creating and selling computer and Web-based education since 1997.
