The e-learning answer

Rather than waiting for a scheduled lecture to occur, staff members can turn to e-learning programs - available every day, any hour. In addition, e-learning can streamline the education process by freeing educators' time to focus on learning transference, supplemental information development, and learners' educational needs. To successfully implement e-learning, first determine how it fits into the organization's operation. Identify training needs, articulate how technological tools can help meet those needs, then search for content that's appropriate for the training's intended purpose. Consider creating a team of stakeholders to facilitate decision-making that seeks to design a consistent e-learning strategy. From a technological perspective, a key component to launching a successful e-learning strategy includes an understanding of learning-management systems and their use in a clinical environment.
