Centric Health Resources to utilise Cobent system for staff training
and service delivery development
Centric Health Resources - a leading US specialty pharmacy provider to
individuals with rare, long-term disorders - is deploying the Cobent
Learning Compliance Suite (LCS) for staff training to improve the
quality of the service it provides. Although not regulated by the FDA
(Food and Drug Administration), Centric Health Resources will utilise
the rigorous compliance capability of LCS to ensure that the
organisation meets all FDA standards for services to patients.
Doug Carlson, quality manager for Centric Health Resources, said: "We
think the Cobent LCS will help us improve our patient-centered health
management approach to our business. If our staff are trained to be the
best and we continually monitor and measure their capabilities, then we
can deliver an even better service to those patients."
Centric Health Resources will use LCS to develop courses unique to the
organisation's services and to manage the type and level of training
its staff receives. LCS will also enable Centric Health Resources to
audit individual and corporate training so the organisation can
demonstrate the high quality levels of its operation and service.
Utilised initially by Centric's 68 internal staff members, there are
also plans to make the system available to Centric Health Resources'
patients and partners, such as nurses and suppliers, helping ensure
that they can deliver high quality services and treatments for
patients.
Howard Sears, Cobent's CEO, said: "Organisations like Centric Health
Resources - which are a lifeline to many people - need to be able to
prove that they have delivered training and information in the
appropriate manner to the right people at the right time so that they
can increase reputation and quality of service. The Cobent LCS is
backed by over 10 years experience in understanding compliance
requirements and it is the ideal solution for developing and deploying
training in regulated industries."
The Cobent Learning Compliance suite (LCS) is a powerful set of modules
designed to make enterprise wide learning easier to manage and control.
LCS is browser-based application that provides fully functional
learning, content and training management, offering organisations the
necessary tools to quickly and cost-effectively create, distribute and
track training activities online and offline. LCS consists of advanced
tools that have been built in line with global compliance standards and
in consultation with training managers, compliance managers and other
business professionals who deliver and manage training daily.
