Case Study: Empathos achieves gold‑standard suicide‑prevention video eLearning and clinician behavior change with ExpertusONE LMS

Empathos Sets ‘Gold Standard’ in Video eLearning with ExpertusONE LMS

The company develops high-quality, video-based eLearning to improve suicide prevention by training clinicians who treat people with suicidal thoughts. Faced with rising suicide rates and a shortage of accessible, research‑validated online training, many U.S. clinicians lacked instruction in evidence‑based practices (EBPs) like CAMS, leaving care ineffective or potentially harmful and creating an urgent need for scalable, behavior‑changing education.

They produced a four‑hour, unscripted, television‑quality CAMS course—broken into short video segments with interactive activities—and delivered it on the ExpertusONE LMS for mobile access, scalability and robust reporting. The program has been adopted by seven U.S. state systems and two Canadian provinces, 77% of learners report plans to change their clinical practice, training costs dropped (course $159 vs. typical $1,500 in‑person), outpatient care can save about $7,000 per patient versus inpatient hospitalization, and evaluators are measuring fidelity and patient outcomes to refine the program and quantify long‑term impact.
