Meet the Challenge of a Complex Training Environment

Read how the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Provide consistent, comprehensive instruction and training to thousands of facility inspectors across the country.

Agencies are faced with staying in-step and in compliance with a dynamic regulatory environment. For example, Medicare/Medicaid regulations change frequently due to Congressional action so training materials can become outdated from one session to the next. Organizations must stay up-to-date on the latest changes to complicated Medicare/Medicaid compliance regulations.

Blackboard Learn™ for Government meets the challenge of this complex training environment with just-in-time instruction and training. It’s a blended learning experience that combines experiential practice, group collaboration, student preparation and instructor guidance and feedback – all seamlessly integrated into one system. 

Blackboard Learn’s ease of access ensures class participants can connect with course material and fellow students from anywhere with an Internet connection – even when faced with extensive travel schedules. Course materials can be updated from one central control point, assuring that the latest federal interpretive guidelines are accurately and consistently communicated. 

And because Blackboard Learn has the capacity to integrate all your training tools to a single portal, all of your instructional resources can be combined into one “location.” 

You can deploy Blackboard Learn in a variety of individual (asynchronous) and group (synchronous) applications . For example, students might access written material and virtual tours of facilities on their own schedules. Later, the entire class can gather online with instructors to present and discuss their findings.

By combining training methods in this way, you’ll find greater efficiency in accommodating the busy schedules of your employees.  And they’ll benefit from the practical experience of working in an environment that requires team decisions. Just as importantly, you will reduce travel costs while improving surveyor and instructor productivity at the same time.
