About the Customer
Floyd County Medical Center is an independent 25-bed Critical Access Hospital and Rural Health Clinic located in the charming northeast Iowa river town of Charles City, Iowa. FCMC offers inpatient and skilled nursing care, along with outpatient services such as diabetes management, nutrition education, wound care, therapy, wellness labs, and advanced MRI/CT imaging.
Challenge
Floyd County was seeking a platform that could cater to the diverse learning styles of hospital staff and provide timely educational resources, while previous platforms lacked enhanced learning capabilities and user-friendliness. Their aim was to find a solution that seamlessly accommodated the organization's varied learning needs, streamlined onboarding, and elevated the educational experience.
Solution
The skills fair at Floyd County, now integrated with Dynamic Health's checklists and courses, delivered exceptional outcomes. Incorporating annual tests and praised premade checklists enhanced engagement and planning, sparking interest in unit-specific skills fairs. The initiative's EHR-integrated assignment system fostered accountability and reduced reliance on disparate sources, saving time and enhancing patient satisfaction.
Results
The implementation resulted in significant time savings and increased efficiency in managing policies, checklists, and assignments. With a 96% completion rate for education, staff benefited from up-to-date information and streamlined checklists, leading to improved patient satisfaction. Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and skill enhancement opportunities further boosted nursing proficiency.
