Business Overview

careLearning improves the quality of healthcare the right way: by enhancing competencies of healthcare leaders, clinicians, professionals and other employees. Since its inception, careLearning has improved the competencies of more than 100,000 healthcare workers throughout the United States by hosting over one million e-Learning course sessions.

Avilar Technologies, Inc. introduced the web-based learning management system WebMentor LMS in 1997. Today, Avilar has a full suite of products that help organizations assess and educate their workforces or constituents. Avilar’s product line includes an e-Learning authoring tool (WebMentor Author), a skills assessment tool (WebMentor Skills), and its latest product release: WebMentor Skills — a web-based skills management system. Avilar prides itself on its ability to deliver reliable software products and outstanding customer service to each client.

THE CHALLENGE

Healthcare workers maintain their certifications through continuing education courses. Course content must be standardized and consistent. Certification records must be up to date and complete. Hospitals and healthcare institutions must be able to manage the challenges of staff turnover, shrinking operating budgets, and pressure for regulatory compliance efficiently and effectively.

The traditional way to meet the individual competency needs of workers is to bring people together in one location for their courses however this method is plagued with scheduling conflicts, high travel costs and inconveniences for workers and their families.

careLearning provides certification courses in a more convenient and cost-effective way. Workers gain flexibility and control of their learning activities and professional development. Hospitals and healthcare institutions realize huge benefits by saving precious time and money through automated management of training delivery and recordkeeping.

THE SOLUTION

careLearning’s primary mission is simple: to provide certification training over the Internet to healthcare workers around the world. They have executed this vision by implementing a web-based learning management system (LMS), developing e-Learning courses for delivery through that LMS, and offering those courses to hospitals as a service over the Internet. Hospitals benefit from e-Learning in convenience, cost savings and quality education without incurring the cost and effort of developing their own individual solutions.

careLearning conducted a thorough search to find the right LMS and course authoring products. They evaluated many companies and solutions and found exactly what they needed at Avilar.

What made Avilar the right choice for careLearning?

careLearning was impressed by Avilar’s ability and willingness to tailor their products and services to fit careLearning’s unique requirements. Avilar’s consultants and developers worked hard in close partnership with careLearning’s founders to establish an understanding of careLearning’s requirements and vision in order to create the best possible solution. This was no “off the shelf” solution, but neither was it the kind of custom application development that often turns out to be costly and late. Instead, careLearning got the best of both worlds: a robust, reliable, and proven product customized carefully and quickly to fit the unique needs of a valued client.

WebMentor LMS and WebMentor Author are the most versatile and reliable e-Learning products on the market. That’s exactly what careLearning needed: products that are both flexible — and most critically, reliable. They allowed careLearning to customize a solution without glitches and delays in their business rollout schedule. Avilar was the perfect choice for their needs.
