Case Study: The Guthrie Clinic achieves 94% elearning utilization with OpenSesame

The Guthrie Clinic extends an integrated elearning solution to its large, distributed workforce

The Guthrie Clinic, a non-profit integrated health system serving a 12-county area with five hospitals, a research institute, home care and hospice, and a multi‑specialty group of more than 500 providers, needed a centralized, targeted training solution for its nearly 7,000 employees. The organization faced low elearning adoption and an unwieldy catalog of courses that didn’t align with employee career goals or organizational priorities.

By integrating OpenSesame with its LMS and designing focused learning paths with input from managers and staff, Guthrie centralized training, automated tracking into HR records, and made courses accessible across all locations. The targeted approach drove utilization from 3% to 94%, delivered time and cost savings, improved employee engagement and career development, and expanded technical training (an extra 40 hours per IT employee).
