How long will the courses be?
The course length will vary. Courses are typically designed to take about 30 minutes.

How do I know which courses I have to do?
Each staff member will be assigned a personal list of courses to complete. This list will be available to you by clicking on the “My Courses” tab at the top of the screen.

How will my manager know that I have done them?
Managers can run reports showing who has completed or not completed assigned courses.

Can I print a certificate?
Yes, for the HealthStream authored courses. For all other courses, your transcript will allow you to print a certificate by clicking on “View”.

What happens if I don’t pass the course?
If you don’t pass the first time, the course will remain on your list of assigned courses, and you can try it again.

Will there be printed copies of the courses?
No.

What if I forget my password? How do I get another?
Your password never changes. It is always your employee ID #. Since this is a unique identifier that HealthStream recognizes, you must never change it.

What should I do if I need help in using the HealthStream system?
Each department has a trained resource person(s) who can help. You may also call the HELP Desk, ex 3044, to have basic questions answered.

Why Web-based training?
Web-based (WBT) training is available 24/7. You will have more choices as to when you complete courses. WBT is designed to allow you, the learner, to focus on the most important facts to be learned. Feedback is given throughout the course.

In most cases, you can test out of a course by taking the Pre-assessment (PA). If you get an 80% or better, you will not have to take the course. If you get below 80%, you will be directed to the course. HealthStream will not bookmark your place for a pre-assessment or a post-test, so once you start either one you will need to complete them without interruption or you will be closed out.

With courses that Providence has written, pictures and information very specific to Providence will be part of the course.

WBT is best used for learning facts, information, and concepts. It is not used for attitudinal (choosing to value diversity) or psychomotor skills (starting an IV). Feedback on WBT courses is given by using the on-line survey.
