How Video Production Can Boost eLearning in Health Care

In the past, when healthcare professionals had to attend training or re-certify for one of the many certifications that they must maintain, they would have to take time away from their practice in order to attend a class or seminar. In the case where it was a required training to the facility, there would be the added expense of having to secure training materials, texts, proctors and instructors, not to mention the cost of renting facilities in which to hold training seminars. This all adds up to a significant expense for healthcare facilities on top of lost productivity of the attendants.

Shifting these certifications and classes to an eLearning platform, healthcare professionals can complete their learning courses anywhere they can access a network from a mobile device or desktop computer, and they can do so between patients, thus maintaining productivity throughout the day. They can review materials leading up to a test, as well as access manuals and documentation that can help them in their day-to-day duties. Many eLearning platforms are subscription based and can be tailored to the organization’s learning needs, minimizing the overall costs to maintaining the service itself.

While a number of studies have been performed to establish whether or not eLearning provides an improved training experience over traditional classroom formats, the results are mixed and inconclusive to that end. However, study results do show that, likely due to the diversity of information delivery methods made available by eLearning systems ranging from interactive videos for healthcare to community discussion boards, eLearning platforms result in similar retention of knowledge. Combined with the other benefits discussed in this list, this lack of drawback to the quality of the learning can indeed be cast as a benefit.

More Efficient and Affordable Learning Option

As Effective As Traditional Training Methods
While a number of studies have been performed to establish whether or not eLearning provides an improved training experience over traditional classroom formats, the results are mixed and inconclusive to that end. However, study results do show that, likely due to the diversity of information delivery methods made available by eLearning systems ranging from interactive videos for healthcare to community discussion boards, eLearning platforms result in similar retention of knowledge. Combined with the other benefits discussed in this list, this lack of drawback to the quality of the learning can indeed be cast as a benefit.

A Valuable, Accessible Resource
One of the greatest benefits of an eLearning platform is that healthcare professionals retain access to the training materials and information, even after certification or completing the course material. This provides them with an invaluable resource to which they can refer in the future if they need a refresher or need to share the information with a colleague who might not have undergone the training. Because the systems can be maintained by a content manager, updates and new standards can be updated to the eLearning platform, and a notification can be sent out to those with accounts, increasing the flow of communication and providing valuable knowledge that translates into better care for patients.
