The Study
290 Learners completed the new Patient Care Assistant (PCA) program using Amplifire’s new Workforce Growth and Development Library as part of UCHealth’s new blended learning model. The goal was to see if learners could successfully complete the PCA program in less time with better learning outcomes, leading to time and cost savings and a higher retention rate to remedy staffing challenges.
Training Outcome

• 50% Reduction in time spent in learning preparation
• Decrease of 14.6% in systemwide burden by open nursing assistant positions
