As part of its effort toward more formalized training for access employees, ScrippsHealth in San Diego recently purchased an educational software program, says Leonard Womack, manager of coding management and compliance.
The software, produced by M3: The Healthcare Learning Company in Dallas, comes with several programs on such topics as compliance, fire safety, and patient confidentiality, he says. "Employees can log on and do educational programs on line," Womack adds. "It will register the time spent on line, the areas in which [the employee] has obtained education, and the test scores achieved in completion of those programs."
The organization will make time available during work hours for the programs that are mandated as a requirement for employment, he says, while the programs that are offered for the employ ee’s career advancement may be handled differently.
"Most professionals approach education on their own time," Womack points out. "Maybe the [employee] could log on from home, or maybe we’ll set up time within the business environment. We will probably wait to find out what the person we hire thinks. We don’t want to make it so difficult that the [employee] doesn’t want to do it. On the other hand, they need to take a certain amount of responsibility for their own education."
