Cognotion, Inc. – Providing cloud-based training programs used to empower allied health professionals

Patient safety is an ongoing concern in hospitals and clinics that can be addressed through better processes and technological solutions. The healthcare environment is constantly shifting to accommodate these new advances. The changes lead to higher speed and efficiency throughout the organization, but the patient's well-being still has to come first. Clinical cloud computing could straightforwardly improve patient safety: Faster technology means faster responses and treatments in critical situations. Cloud computing solutions can potentially limit the amount of time that doctors and nurses spend searching for open end-points and time spent accessing and re-accessing different applications. With a single sign-on, authentication is much more comfortable, even at different end-points and across multiple applications. This can lead to faster, more secure access to essential patient data. Moving the IT infrastructure into the cloud can create healthcare providers opportunities to spend more time delivering effective care and less time managing client systems.

Traditional paper-based work, which is administrative and consumes a lot of time of healthcare professional's schedule, could be reduced to the bare minimum. Hence, cloud solutions would encourage nurses to shift work hours from decreasing administrative tasks to direct patient care. This would be particularly relevant if the different healthcare industries adopt different clouds that are compatible with each other, so solving the interoperability challenges among the systems.

It's a formula that delivers immediate, lasting results.

The cloud-based training program offered by Cognotion, Inc.

Cognotion operates on the premise that there is a narrative inherent in any teachable subject. The firm locates this narrative and crafts it into an immersive storyline. The learner progresses through the Story by drawing upon existing resources and synthesizing new knowledge. Emotional proximity is characterized as the "empathy and identification the learner feels for the characters in a program" and is established by developing characters with strengths and weaknesses, who change and grow as the program moves forward. Learners recognize their desires and concerns in the prototypical heroes, people with traits similar to their own, and people who learn to draw upon their reserves of strengths (assets) for the greater good.
