Case Study: UW Medicine speeds EHR onboarding and boosts nurse training satisfaction with Tegria and Amplifire

UW Medicine Transforms Initial EHR Education With Amplifire

UW Medicine was facing a staffing crisis with high turnover rates, which put unsustainable pressure on their existing EHR onboarding training program for clinicians. They needed a solution to get new nurses and providers to the floor faster without compromising on the quality of their education. To address this, UW Medicine partnered with the vendor Tegria to evaluate and implement a new approach, ultimately selecting the adaptive learning platform Amplifire.

With Tegria's support, UW Medicine implemented Amplifire in a carefully planned phased rollout. Tegria provided critical advisory services, including curriculum mapping, gap analysis, and content authoring, while the Amplifire platform delivered personalized learning that focused on individual knowledge gaps. The results were significant: training time was reduced by 75% for nurses and 50% for providers, and the program saw substantial increases in nurse training satisfaction. The analytics from Amplifire also revealed critical knowledge gaps, ensuring clinicians were better prepared for their roles.
