Simulation course earns top recognition for its use of innovative technology to enable real-life clinical skills
Relias, the trusted education and workforce enablement partner to 12,000 healthcare and human services organizations and 4.5 million caregivers, today announced its win of a Gold Excellence in Technology award by Brandon Hall Group in the category Best Advance in Video for Learning.
This prestigious recognition, awarded at the Gold level — the highest honor achievable in its category — was earned by Relias’ video-based e-learning simulation course, “In Session: Practicing Clinical Skills in Motivational Interviewing.” The course immerses learners in a dynamic, first-person point of view, using experiential learning to help them apply motivational interviewing knowledge and skills in real-life scenarios.
Relias’ award-winning submission was evaluated on criteria including value proposition, innovation, unique differentiators, demonstration, and measurable results.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by Brandon Hall Group. At Relias, we believe that innovation is key to unlocking better outcomes,” said Kay Krafft, CEO, Relias. “This award highlights our dedication to creating learning experiences that engage healthcare professionals and empower them to confidently provide high-quality care.”
“In our 31st year, the Excellence in Technology Awards continue to showcase the best innovations in learning, talent management, talent acquisition, HR, workforce management, and sales enablement technologies,” said Rachel Cooke, Brandon Hall Group Chief Operation Officer, leader of the Excellence Awards program. “We’re proud to receive applications from a diverse range of organizations globally, reflecting the ever-evolving landscape of technology solutions.”
This marks Relias’ third Brandon Hall Group award, following a Gold win in 2022 for its simulation course “A Day in the Life: An IDD Perspective” and a Silver award in 2017 for the Mental Health First Aid Re-Certification program.
With this recognition, Relias continues to redefine how healthcare professionals learn and improve their skills, driving innovations that shape the future of care and empower caregivers to meet tomorrow’s challenges with excellence.
