Education is power during the Ebola Outbreak

Last week I wrote a blog entitled, “Healthcare recruiting during the Ebola outbreak,” and asked, “how are you handling this health emergency?”  Just a few days later, our strategic partners at Prophecy Healthcare launched an Ebola Education Module, called “Ebola: Communicable Disease Preparedness,” to all of their clients free of charge for 30 days.

This new Ebola Education Module is an awesome tool if you are a travel nurse staffing agency, who is concerned about recruiting healthcare professionals during this health crisis. It is a powerful and easy approach to educating your staff, even those who are spread across the United States, as it is a web-based clinical education module.

Did you know that if you are a BlueSky client setup with the Prophecy integration the module is available to send from your BlueSky system?  

To do this is very simple: First, choose a selected healthcare professional and send out an exam like you normally would.  Then click on “Other Mandatories” and you will see “Ebola: Communicable Disease Preparedness” as an option. This module will work like any others and when it is complete it will upload in the system and notify you as well.   It can be included into the profile when submitting candidates to positions showing that your agency is proactive in educating your staff.

Prophecy believes that educating nurses about infection control is crucial.  I encourage you to send out this module as well.  I feel that it helps restore the healthcare recruiting process by giving your healthcare providers the knowledge they need to feel safe and your customers the peace of mind that you are providing the best contingent labor possible.

If you have any questions on how to send the Prophecy Ebola module out of your BlueSky system please feel free to contact support and they can walk you through it quickly and easily.
