Case Study: Huntsville Hospital achieves scalable, compliant online continuing education for 7,000 employees with HealthcareSource NetLearning

Huntsville Hospital efficiently and effectively delivers education to thousands of employees using NetLearning solutions

Huntsville Hospital, an 881-bed not-for-profit serving north Alabama and south-central Tennessee with about 7,000 employees, centralized its learning into a Corporate University and needed a way to efficiently deliver, track and report staff education across multiple campuses while ensuring training aligned with hospital outcomes and regulatory requirements.

They implemented HealthcareSource NetLearning LMS and the E‑Learning Library to provide online, self-paced courses, SME authoring, customizable reporting and electronic compliance tracking. The solution cut reliance on live instructors, streamlined credential reporting to the State Board of Nursing, extended the reach of the Corporate University, and helped demonstrate clear ROI — delivered education hours rose from 33,472 to 186,991 and the calculated annual value of that education grew from about $540,000 (2000) to roughly $3.1 million (2011).
