Leadership development opportunities discovered via HealthStream
Research products can now be matched with a powerful solution to drive
improved outcomes
NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
HealthStream, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSTM), a leading provider of learning and
research solutions for the healthcare industry, announced today that it
has partnered with Harvard Business Publishing to offer the Harvard
ManageMentor, a premier leadership and management skills online learning
resource, to its healthcare organization customers. The new online
resource offers a highly effective learning solution to enhance hospital
managers' day-to-day performance and, in turn, drive improved outcomes
for the organization.
As an online learning resource, Harvard ManageMentor features more than
200 interactive online learning activities and more than 350 video
segments—with audio downloads for mobile devices. Healthcare managers
are provided with a wide range of relevant learning activities, tools,
worksheets, and step-by-step guides that cover the full gamut of
management responsibilities. More than 40 modules cover an array of
management skills—from running a meeting to strategy development to
finance essentials. Online bookmarks let users quickly revisit specific
sections for future reference.
"We are excited to offer Harvard ManageMentor through HealthStream, the
nation's largest healthcare learning network," said Rich Gravelin,
associate director, Harvard Business Publishing. "Our mission at Harvard
Business Publishing is to improve the practice of management and its
impact in a changing world. Our partnership with HealthStream provides
the ideal entrée to acute-care hospitals to support this mission with
our premier online resource for management essentials."
While effective leadership is important in every industry, it is
absolutely critical in healthcare. Today, healthcare organizations are
expected to achieve excellence while under close public and regulatory
scrutiny. Patient safety, clinical outcomes, market share, profitability
levels, cost containment, employee retention, and patient volume are all
concerns that leaders of healthcare organizations face on a continuous
basis. Moreover, for physicians, a hospital administration's ability to
manage the hospital is ranked as the single most important factor
influencing their overall satisfaction with the hospital (HealthStream
Research, Physician Survey Data). Taken together, these factors
heighten the need and urgency for effective leadership and management
skills training in healthcare organizations.
"One of our primary objectives has always been to provide actionable
information to healthcare leaders through our wide array of research
products and services," said J. Edward Pearson, president, HealthStream
Research. "We are increasingly offering not only actionable information,
but also product-based actions that can deliver high impact and improved
outcomes in healthcare organizations. I believe that our strong partner
network—that now includes Harvard Business Publishing—further marks
HealthStream as the "go-to" source for healthcare leaders to gain
insight and take action in their organizations to affect positive
improvements."
