3 Key Takeaways from Advancing Training for your Clinicians: A Conversation with Tampa General Hospital
In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, where advancements in technology and patient care continually evolve, the role of training for clinicians is pivotal. In a compelling podcast discussion hosted by Mariah Muhammad for Becker’s Healthcare, Rachel Feinman, Vice President of Innovation at Tampa General Hospital (TGH), and Austin Smith, Director of Healthcare Alliance Development at Amplifire, delved into the transformative impact of advancing training methodologies for healthcare professionals. Here are three key takeaways from their enlightening conversation:
1. Build a Resilient Workforce Through Innovative Training Methodologies
A resilient healthcare workforce is fundamental to delivering consistent, high-quality care amidst evolving patient needs and healthcare challenges. “Looking at and reevaluating the way that we think about training is part of an even broader initiative and strategic goal around team member resiliency,” says Ms. Feinman. “Team members who are better trained feel more empowered to do their job.” Mr. Smith echoed these sentiments, highlighting Amplifire’s commitment to supporting healthcare organizations in cultivating a culture of innovative learning.
By facilitating ongoing education and professional development through accessible, engaging learning platforms, Amplifire contributes to workforce resilience by equipping clinicians with the skills and knowledge needed to confidently navigate complex healthcare environments. Modernized training accelerates the onboarding process by leveraging previous clinician experience, and saving time by not retraining individuals on knowledge they already have. This has been especially successful in onboarding to Electronic Health Records like Epic.
“We train and deploy at scale,” says Mr. Smith. Experienced clinicians might not need to sit through hours of classroom-based training, but instead can take an asynchronous Amplifire module to assess and solidify knowledge and get them to the floor in a fraction of the time.
2. Personalization and Customization Enhance Training Effectiveness
This personalized approach not only accelerates the onboarding process but aligns training content with the latest healthcare protocols and technologies, ensuring clinicians are well-prepared to deliver high-quality care through adaptive learning technologies that harness brain science-based methodologies to customize educational content for each learner.
Traditional training models in healthcare often follow a one-size-fits-all approach, where clinicians receive standardized education irrespective of their prior experience or learning style. “Like many things, COVID was the impetus for a lot of change. And I think that was the case around workforce training,” says Ms. Feinman. The shift towards remote and virtual training necessitated a reevaluation of training strategies. Instead of uniform classroom sessions, TGH embraced personalized training experiences tailored to individual learning needs.
Ms. Feinman emphasized that treating each clinician as a unique learner significantly enhances engagement and knowledge retention. By leveraging data insights and platforms like Amplifire, TGH now delivers targeted micro-learning modules that address specific needs identified through data analytics. “We have access to a lot of data,” Ms. Feinman continues. “Now we can target training down to the team member, down to the shift, or down to the unit that needs it.” This targeted approach not only streamlines training processes but produces behavior change, ensuring that clinicians are proficient and confident in applying their skills directly to patient care scenarios, without adding unnecessary burden.
3. Integration of Technology Drives Efficiency and Patient Outcomes
The integration of AI and personalized learning methodologies will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of healthcare training.
Ms. Feinman underscored TGH’s commitment to leveraging AI not as a replacement for human expertise but as a tool to augment clinician capabilities and streamline operational efficiencies. “Our goal at TGH is leveraging AI to help our team members focus on the aspects of their job that they need to feel better about the work that they do,” says Ms. Feinman. Specifically, she discussed examining the nurse manager role. “What we were asking of these nurse managers across systems is just too much.” Ms. Feinman states.
Reimagining the nurse manager role through technology and AI optimizes operational workflows and empowers clinicians to operate at the top of their licensure. By reducing administrative burdens and enhancing decision-making support, AI-enabled tools allow clinicians to focus more on patient care, thereby fostering a resilient and motivated workforce.
Additionally, innovative strategies such as virtual enablement on the inpatient side are showing success maximizing clinician talent and improving staff resiliency. “If our team members are able to effectively manage and address patients virtually, and they can increase the number of patients they’re able to serve by leveraging that technology, then it’s better for the team member and better for the patient,” says Ms. Feinman.
Mr. Smith highlighted how Amplifire’s AI capabilities facilitate rapid content development and deployment, significantly reducing the time and resources traditionally required for training. By automating routine tasks and enabling personalized learning pathways, Amplifire empowers healthcare organizations to scale their training initiatives without compromising individualized attention to learners.AI-enabled training not only enhances clinical proficiency but also plays a critical role in mitigating risks such as infection rates. By delivering targeted training modules based on real-time data analytics, healthcare systems can proactively address challenges like healthcare-associated infections, leading to improved patient safety and overall healthcare quality.
Amplifire and Tampa General Partnership Brings Innovation to Practice
“The partnership we have with Amplifire really exemplifies the reason we do this kind of innovation work,” says Ms. Feinman. “We are just scratching the surface on opportunities to collaborate across training and education,” says Mr. Smith, about the burgeoning partnership with TGH.
The insights shared underscore a transformative shift in healthcare training paradigms. By embracing personalized, technology-driven approaches to training, healthcare organizations like Tampa General Hospital are not only enhancing clinical proficiency but also fostering a resilient workforce capable of delivering exceptional patient care.

What did the pandemic do to distractions during online learning?
It is hard to overstate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on everyday life. Downtown real estate markets collapsed as remote office work became the norm. Supply-chain issues caused widespread food insecurity and prescription medication shortages. Lockdowns even changed how birds sing.
Education was similarly disrupted. Within weeks, over 90% of classrooms abruptly shifted from in-person to online. At the same time, the upheaval caused by lockdowns and students’ concerns about the virus caused them to report increased anxiety, difficulty sleeping, concentration problems, and greater susceptibility to distractions.
Amplifire’s Dr. Matthew Hays and Scott Kustes teamed up with Dr. Elizabeth Bjork of our Science Advisory Board to investigate how this disruption affected learners’ ability to stay engaged while learning online. Because learners have interacted with the Amplifire platform over 4.5 billion times, there were more than enough data points to let the researchers quantify the impact of the pandemic.
Their first step was to define what constituted an interruption. Over the course of five studies, they evaluated increasingly rigorous ways to detect within the data when a student became distracted, from simple mean-and-standard-deviation approaches to more advanced statistical methods. They then compared the interruption rate during the peak of lockdowns – April and May of 2020 – to the same period in the years before and after. The researchers had hypothesized that there would be clear increases in the frequency of interruptions when lockdowns were most intense.
Instead, they found no effect of the pandemic.
We asked Dr. Hays to explain. “You’ll see these clickbait headlines that say ‘scientists stunned’ and it turns out they just found a bug that they didn’t think lived in that part of the country anymore,” he said. “But I really was stunned. We pulled the data in different ways and re-ran the analyses to make sure that we weren’t somehow missing an impact.”
The researchers consulted with several other experts in learning and metacognition to interpret the findings. The consensus that emerged: Because Amplifire was designed from the start to be used online, it was immune to the disruption that so dramatically affected classroom learning.The researchers’ findings and conclusions were published in the Journal of Intelligence, thus informing the broader scientific community about what we might expect from the next massive disruption of student learning. Further, the interruption-detection methods introduced can help educators identify frequently interrupted students (who may therefore be struggling to learn due to external factors rather than a lack of effort or aptitude).

Performance during training is a poor predictor of long-term retention. Worse yet, conditions of training that produce rapidly improving performance typically do not produce long-lasting, generalizable learning. As a result, learners and instructors alike can be misled into adopting training or educational experiences that are suboptimal for producing actual learning. Computer-based educational training platforms can counter this unfortunate tendency by providing only productive conditions of instruction—even if they are unintuitive (e.g., spacing instead of massing). The use of such platforms, however, introduces a different liability: being easy to interrupt. An assessment of this possible liability is needed given the enormous disruption to modern education brought about by COVID-19 and the subsequent widespread emergency adoption of computer-based remote instruction. The present study was therefore designed to (a) explore approaches for detecting interruptions that can be reasonably implemented by an instructor, (b) determine the frequency at which students are interrupted during a cognitive-science-based digital learning experience, and (c) establish the extent to which the pandemic and ensuing lockdowns affected students’ metacognitive ability to maintain engagement with their digital learning experiences. Outliers in time data were analyzed with increasing complexity and decreasing subjectivity to identify when learners were interrupted. Results indicated that only between 1.565% and 3.206% of online interactions show evidence of learner interruption. And although classroom learning was inarguably disrupted by the pandemic, learning in the present, evidence-based platform appeared to be immune.

Role of Generative AI in eLearning Content
When delving into the excitement surrounding the integration of generative AI into eLearning content development, perspectives vary depending on who you ask. The promise of shortened timelines and faster outputs is often thrilling to the C-suite. However, when content authors are asked about the tangible benefits of generative AI in their workflow, their responses might not be as enthused.
This is because, for content authors, generative AI has yet to significantly simplify their lives. While it aids in cutting corners and expediting development time, it inadvertently demands more time during the quality assurance phase. For generative AI to truly make a meaningful impact on the lives of savvy content authors, it must streamline the development process without introducing unnecessary obstacles.
Amplifire’s own internal content team is seeing a significant reduction in content development time. Here are the ways we see AI helping authors, rather than adding to the content overload:
1. Planning
Authors invest a substantial amount of time meticulously outlining courses and crafting course questions. This involves listing learning objectives, themes, topics, and organizing them in adherence to instructional design principles. Traditionally, this planning occurs outside the platform used for development and entails multiple steps to create the course shell and overview. This is precisely where AI intervention can be transformative. By integrating AI, authors can input their objectives, topics, and source material, allowing AI to construct the shell and streamline the course creation process. This not only provides authors with a significant head start on course creation but also enables them to allocate more time to refine the details. It also reduces reliance on external tools like Excel, centralizing the planning process and improves the accuracy and consistency of course layouts.
2. Content Generation
Many authors already leverage generative AI as a tool to overcome writer’s block. While creating course/question shells may be a relatively straightforward task, fleshing out the details can be more challenging. With generative AI assisting the writing process, authors can redirect their focus toward enhancing the content rather than grappling with ideation. Additionally, with the shell generated from source content, the likelihood of factual errors is reduced, thereby minimizing the need for increased quality assurance time. Additionally, Ensures a high standard of content quality and relevance.
As we navigate the evolving landscape of eLearning content development, the role of generative AI stands out as a transformative force with both promise and challenges. The key lies in the strategic application of AI, particularly in the planning and content generation phases. While challenges persist, these real-world efficiency gains underscore the potential of generative AI to be a valuable ally in creating more robust and engaging eLearning content. As technology continues to evolve, it holds the promise of not only meeting but exceeding the expectations of content authors in the ever-evolving landscape of educational content creation.
