Safety and Quality Essentials Library
The Safety and Quality Essentials Library is designed to improve patient safety through the prevention of hospital-acquired conditions (HACs) while simultaneously promoting the early recognition, management, and communication of conditions that can lead to avoidable harm.
The Library reduces the financial burden of unreimbursed HACs and CMS penalties, improve the knowledge of clinicians to increase the quality of care, and identifies/remediates areas of clinical risk individually and organizationally.

Organizational Culture Library
Whether orienting new co-workers and medical staff members, or training those who’ve been affiliated with the organization for some time, Amplifire offers a proven way to assure that critical content is delivered and retained at scale. In the pandemic’s aftermath and with heightened awareness about health equity, it’s never been more important for healthcare provider organizations to ensure that essential concepts associated with quality and safety, as well as diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) are conveyed in time-efficient and effective ways.
The Organization Culture library now includes the first of many courses that will enable leaders to reinforce critical learning objectives in ways that will shape the patient experience, foster collaboration among providers and employees, and create a safe and respectful environment for all. As always, each course can be further modified to ensure that the final version is fully aligned with the values, policies and teaching points that are vital to the sponsoring organization.

Electronic Health Record: Clinical
Research indicates that user ratings on the quality of training are the single greatest predictor of overall Electronic Health Record (EHR) user experience. These findings are leading health systems to re-invest in new and innovative training approaches.
The Amplifire platform helps physicians, nurses, and clinical support staff more effectively navigate the patient record workflow, reduce onboarding and training time, and optimize overall EHR investment. Amplifire partners with each health system to create Amplifire EHR courses unique to each system’s workflows.

Analytics and Improvements Library
Analysts bring the most value to healthcare organizations when they can solve problems and become partners in clinical and operational improvement work. This requires an ability to contextualize and analyze data to surface improvement opportunities—and then communicate those opportunities with their leaders. This program provides analysts with the core competencies needed to move from reactive report writing to proactively discovering insights that lead to meaningful improvements.
Hospice, Palliative, and Restorative Care Library
Due to the effects of chronic diseases on an aging population, the need for caregiving for older adults by formal, professional caregivers will increase sharply during the next several decades. In 2014, about 67,000 paid, regulated long-term care services providers served about 9 million people in the United States. In 2015, hospice patients received a total of 96,052,577 days of care paid for by Medicare.
Two factors — longer life spans and aging baby boomers — will combine to double the population of Americans aged 65 years or older during the next 25 years. By 2030, older adults will account for roughly 20% of the US population.
