Savant has entered into a distribution agreement with the Evangelical
Lutheran Good Samaritan Society to deliver interactive distance learning courses
to other long-term healthcare organizations through their Distance Learning
Network (DLN).
The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society
Savant has been a partner of
the Good Samaritan Society in the development of its interactive distance
learning satellite network from its inception in 1998. The Distance
Learning Network now broadcasts long-term care training of over 12 hours a day
to its 240 centers across throughout the United States. Savant, the Good
Samaritan Society and Bowden Productions have joined together to bring this high
quality, interactive distance learning system to other long-term healthcare
organizations.
Learning Situation in Long-Term Healthcare
The Good Samaritan Society was facing serious problems in training its
workforce:
- High turnover rates, particularly CNAs
- High cost of training, continuing education
- Lack of qualified instructors
- Difficult to reach all the people that need training
- Lack of good training content
- Expensive to develop training programs
- Difficult for people to take off work for training
It has made tremendous progress in the past few years in addressing these
obstacles through the development and implementation of the Distance Learning
Network. It expects even more positive results in the future.
Invitation to Participate
If your long-term healthcare organization is feeling the pressure of
increasing government regulations, rapid turnover of staff, high cost of
training new personnel, or poor quality training programs, consider partnering
with the Savant Long-Term Healthcare Network.
