HealthStream Learning Management System vs. Infor Learning Management (LMS)

HealthStream is a wonderful tool for assigning assessments and evaluating knowledge. The assessments have a large pool of questions to pull from. The exams are timed and will generate a test report at the end of the exam so the clinical team can see what tests were passed and failed. These are helpful in ensuring we know what the nurse needs extra education on. HealthStream would be less suited for education items that would need to be validated in person...skills such as CPR.

Suitable for multi-departmental or corporate groups. The ability to collaborate and track the progress is a useful feature. This is not the best option for a company that wants to develop high-quality instructional content or a user guide that customers can swiftly read and learn on their own. Big Data and Data Analysis are less supported on this cloud platform.

• Meeting healthcare regulatory education needs - comes with a regulatory library focused on those needs (The Joint Commission and OSHA)
• Elective Course Options - dozens of course libaries available for purchase to meeting contining education needs of nurses and clinical employees
• Class Registraion - Does a really nice job of handling thousands of class registrations for massive education roll outs
• Course Building - with additional resources you can purchase rights to author your own courses.

• It enables enhanced collaboration. Users can actively contribute knowledge through the various platforms using ILM.
• Content Creation is quite simplified, and can be used to create quality content. Learners can quickly go through this quality content provided by the author and can enrich themselves.

• From an administrative point of a view they use an "and" relationship in their database and they need to move to and and/or relationship. So a nurse can work in the ED and hold a second job in the medical/peds. Right now HealthStream doesn't find that nurse and it takes a lot of work to find that 2nd job code on the administrative side. HealthStream should be able to pick that up.
• It is lacking a 2nd supervisor field to pick up the 2nd job codes that are created which links up to issue number one. Once you find the 2nd job code you can't link it to 2nd supervisor.
• The HLC/competency center needs alot more programming work. It's a newer program for HealthStream and missing alot needed requests. It needs checklist functionality or some special editable fields and an ability to change rater on the assignments to help the educators.

• Single Sign on never worked.
• Our company was on the bleeding edge and tried to use Infor Learning Management shortly after Infor purchased the company. The software was not yet integrated into the Infor platform.
• Project managers weren't sure of the answers to some implementation questions.

I would most definitely choose to renew our contract as HealthStream is a great tool that meets the needs of the organization when it comes to delivering and tracking training. Prior to rolling out HealthStream, most of the tracking would be done manually through Excel, and classes would all have to be done in person. HealthStream really optimizes everyone's time, and makes everything more efficient.

I am giving 8 instead of 10 because we need to implement some new features in the system and this is a long process to accomplish. If it was easier and shorter, I would give a 10. Also, lately we are facing some technical issues which impacted some users experience, but Certpoint is working hard to catch up on this.

I only used HealthStream for a short time, but it wasn’t overly user-friendly or pretty. There were some quirks that I didn’t like, like the quiz builder or uploading lists. Whenever you assigned a group it was difficult to tell and confirm that the assignment went out. Overall I like other systems better.

The support for Infor Learning Management was quite prompt and were able to resolve the issues within the SLA

In the past, I've used both BlackBoard and IntraLearn to manage health care eLearning. Intralearn, in particular, is a great in-house solution - although it does require full customization by the administrator as there is no canned content or content library resource. IntraLearn is integrated with Sharepoint, so that is a plus for any organization where Sharepoint is used for their web presence.

Both Litmus and Infor offer on demand training in both pre recorded and virtual environments. We appreciated Infor's dedication to content we didn't have to generate which we felt Litmus had lacked. The reporting features coming from Infor also seemed a bit more robust as well

• More efficiency. Easy way to implement training to a larger group of people.
• Helps to orientate new hires to our organization quicker.
• Consistency with training messages. We can communicate a method that can be easily adopted and implement across the organization.

• This helped in creating and enabling a lot of on-demand online training, which benefited the employees a lot.
• It had good ROI in terms of the regulator compliance tracking for all the employees. This was quite cost-effective as compared to the earlier process.
