Case Studies: A cAse Study on Compliance

LMS Implementation Results in 95% of 7,000 Employees

Being HIPAA Compliant in 45 Days

 

Deadlines can sneak up on even the most well-run organization, as one of our customers - a world-renowned children's hospital - discovered.  While they were up-to-speed on the remediation requirements of HIPAA, they did not have a learning management system (LMS) or specialized content in place to meet the necessary education requirements. 

Through the use of our LMS, Critical Educator, Decision Critical not only gave this customer the capability to produce custom reports which proved that each of their 7,000 employees was HIPAA compliant, but we also settled another issue for them.   As a "content independent" company we had the kind of open architecture and partnership approach that ensured a smooth relationship between ourselves and Triage Training, the customer's preferred provider of HIPAA content.

From the opening of contract negotiations to having 95% of their 7,000 employees – spread across 42 locations – becoming HIPAA compliant took just 45 days.

This example highlights the value of an application service provider in contrast to the typical software implementation.  Once the customer had pilot tested the content, all that was left for them to do in order to “go live” was open their web browser.”

What customers are saying

“Nurses need to track more professional development information today than ever before.  The online portfolio provides an ideal solution to parallel increases in nurse mobility and demands by employers for a wide variety of professional documentation.”

"Our member nurses serve in a wide range of workplace settings and specialty areas that demand excellence in knowledge, scholarship and leadership.  Critical Portfolio will greatly enhance our members' ability to track and manage their professional development and advancement while meeting the informational and compliance needs of the institutions they serve."

"Having had a career that spans more than 30 years and covers practice, education, military, consulting, publishing, and research, Critical Portfolio allowed me to put all my information and documents in one place on-line that is easily accessed, updated, and readily transformed into specific mini-profiles.  I only wish I had this earlier to keep track of the professional development components I need for licensure and certification.  The initial set up effort of importing 30 years worth of professional development is far outweighed by the benefit of having a secure repository of all this important data. It is so easy to maintain, I couldn’t imagine not having it."
