HealthStream Review

Health Unit Coordinator at Brigham and Women's Hospital (10,001+ employees employees)

Pros

  • Allows you to be able to keep track of all your assignments from your manager.
  • Often gives you the ability to test out of having to do the training with a pretest
  • Keeps all your completed work for you to review or look back on should you need a refresher.

Cons

  • On more than one occasion healthstream notified me that I had a task to be done, but it was nowhere to be found in my assignments.

Return on Investment

  • In my opinion it has been a big time saver for all the department managers. Instead of holding meetings on things that are assigned yearly we can get them done in healthstream.

Other Software Used

Epic Healthy Planet, Kronos Workforce Ready, Oracle PeopleSoft HCM

Research Coordinator in Research & Development at Northwestern University - The Feinberg School of Medicine (10,001+ employees employees)

Pros

  • Extremely broad customization. Each task or assignment can be distributed to everyone, a department, a role, etc.
  • Easy interface: it doesn't require a bunch of pop-ups, everything just flows.
  • Minimal requirements: most courses just need a browser, no plug-ins or additional features.

Cons

  • Hard to ensure learning retention since employees can simply click through the modules if they choose.
  • It doesn't remind the employees via email that assignments are due, you have to log in to the site to see that.

Return on Investment

  • It has allowed us to easily and consistently ensure compliance standards in the ever-changing healthcare field.
  • We have been able to keep in-person training for specific hands-on needs and provide flexibility to the staff with HealthStream assignments.
