Frequently Asked Questions
How Relias helps with compliance.
In addition to offering state-specific course requirements, we make it personal. Relias can help you create personalized training plans and manage learning for all roles in your organization. Include accredited courses and short, skill-based modules for efficiency. Take it a step further and assess each staff member to prescribe targeted education based on the individual’s needs. For example, an RN of 20 years might only need a refresher, not a two-hour course. Employees can take courses online at a time and place that is convenient for their work schedules.
The Relias learning management system (LMS) automatically tracks course completions. With a click of a button you can run a report or print out a transcript of a course to show to a surveyor. We have also cross-referenced our educational course library to F-tags. So in the off chance that you have experienced a ding, you have the ability to search by the specific tag, and a list of courses will be generated, all of which will count toward your plan of correction.
Relias has a dedicated Accreditations team that stays up to date with state and federal regulatory changes and professional licensure renewal requirements. They perform ongoing regulatory research, and inform our Curriculum Development team of any changes affecting course content. They also continually review and update our Crosswalk documents (which map our courses to state and federal regulations), and they work to obtain approvals from hundreds of boards and accrediting bodies, such as the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and the National Association of Administrator Boards (NAB).
Yes, and yes. With just three clicks of a button, you can automatically assign orientation and annual training for the entire year. Not to mention, everything is tracked without you having to lift a finger. The Relias Platform also integrates with an approved list of payroll vendors and HRIS or EMR systems, cutting out duplicate steps of inputting employees’ information, which saves you time, money and energy.
If you choose to sync with your payroll vendor, our product will automatically upload new employees into the Relias Platform, create a username and assign courses to their specific job.
Our content is created in-house and informed by an interdisciplinary team of clinicians, national industry leaders and instructional design experts. Courses are assessed at least every three years to meet the regulatory needs of 135+ accrediting bodies.
With 5,000+ courses and more than 100 course libraries, the breadth and depth of our learning content is unrivaled. We can help provide clinicians with the precise CE and CME they need to remain current in their fields, as well as content for non-medical staff so they can also continually improve their care delivery.
