Project Model:  Hospital U has been working with major health systems on deploying mobile technology for their hospital learning populations for several years.  As a result, we are constantly looking for funding opportunities such as Robert Wood Johnson, other private foundations, as well as government grants.   We are proud to announce that we have received a round of funding which will allow us to accomplish the following objective:  Deploy  a simple, innovative model to allow a single educator to rapidly create and deploy content and to help to better educate their mobile learners in a hospital setting. 


Hospital Educators will Use Mobile Technology to Better Educate Large Learning Populations.   The major trend we are seeing is the proliferation of smart mobile devices which have emerged on the hospital campus.  Is there a way for the hospital education staff to  leverage the availability of these devices?  We propose to provide 20 participating hospital/health systems with the following tool-set to  deploy and standardize the use of smart mobile technology.

 

1) Distribution Platform- Our technology backbone is called the Mobile Learning Manager (MLM). This software is designed to allow a single educator to very simply “push” content to large learner populations in the form of video, audio, documents, web pages and courses which learners access through a mobile app (apple/android). Mobile analytics can track/report learner usage.

 

2) Content Creation. We provide you with simple online file conversion and creation tools for ALL of your own existing educational content - PowerPoints, YouTube, flash, audio and video files - into mobile format.

 

3) Existing Content: 1000 just-in-time mobile nursing skills videos and 3rd party Apps by specialty and 1000 leadership audio/video modules by competency. We will select a predetermined list of “hospital approved” apps that users can voluntarily select by specialty.


4) Hardware: BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) model.  Most mobile learners will use their own smart devices. For staff without- Lending Library of 10-20 iPod Touch devices, along with a dedicated MultiSync Case. (Funding for hardware is pending)
