About: Setup your surveys, maintain communications to provide support, reminding clinicians when and where they should be, tracking their progress and measuring their satisfaction through survey tools.

Steps: 3

Step 1 - Communication

Imagine it's your first week at a hospital, anxiety and uncertainty is high and your overwhelmed with information. What would ease your concerns to improve your experience?

  • Communicate helpful information to clinicians using mobile notifications (Announcement)

Step 2 - O-Week activities and education sessions

Streamline all of your education and reporting through a centralised location. Use Events to easily schedule your online sessions, track attendance and reporting.

  • Generate evidence of attendance for accreditation and the new framework

  • Automated mobile reminders to clinicians for upcoming events

  • Scanning QR codes to quickly mark attendance - no manual transcriptions

  • Link your post education session surveys for topic and presenter feedback


Step 3 - Send or schedule surveys

In phase 1 we setup surveys, now it's time to distribute them to clinicians.

You can integrate this tool to link with education & training (events) with automated reminders or simply send via a mobile push notification.

We recommend you setup & send the following surveys:

  • Education - Post education session feedback on topics and presenters

  • Orientation - Understand and track how satisfied clinicians are with your orientation

  • Feedback - Find out what content is missing, enabling clinicians to do their job better and reduce their mistakes
