UW Medicine Transforms Initial EHR Education With Amplifire

Summary 

UW Medicine faced a staffing crisis with high turnover rates that made their previous onboarding training program unsustainable. A comprehensive review led to selection of the Amplifire adaptive learning platform, which combines adaptive functionality with cognitive, science-based techniques. Tegria experts supported the Amplifire implementation by advising, curriculum mapping, mentoring, authoring content, and facilitating feedback sessions. Since the implementation, the Amplifire platform has revealed knowledge disparities, saved significant time, and generated positive learner feedback.
