| Tech | Workforce Management | Best Advance in Assessment and Survey Technology | HealthStream | Jane Best Advance in Assessment and Survey Technology | Gold | 2021 | Jane utilizes AI to create an individual path of development for each nurse, rather than a generalized course of training that may not provide enough emphasis on the individual nurse’s areas of concern. To do so, Jane combines machine learning-enabled assessment with video vignettes and access to a large library of additional video and e-learning resources. The use of AI coupled with video learning allows Jane to address a significant staffing problem in healthcare. Nurse managers have an average 30-40 direct reports, thus making it difficult (if not impossible) to provide individualized learning opportunities to each and every nurse they manage. The use of an automated program that can provide training and assessment of critical thinking skills alleviates the strain of providing this kind of customized attention. The process of assessment is made easier and faster, thus freeing up the nurse manager’s time to focus on areas of critical need. |
