Emplify Health, a merger of Bellin Health and Gundersen Health, presented at this year’s KLAS Arch Collaborative Learning Summit.

  • Reduce instructor classroom time by 43% 
  • Accelerate nurse onboarding by 66% 
  • Dramatically increase content production by accelerating authoring 
  • Save new community connect end users and residents 4 hours of in-person training for onboarding 
  • Increase satisfaction of learning materials
