Go1 vs. HealthStream Learning & Performance

Go1 and our Client Success Manager both have a wonderful family feel to them, which is exactly what we look for in a partner. Emily always seems to drop everything for us, even though we know she has plenty of other clients to look after. She always curates the most appropriate content for us, and I absolutely love the content calendar that they produce every year as inspiration for content topics.

HealthStream is a wonderful tool for assigning assessments and evaluating knowledge. The assessments have a large pool of questions to pull from. The exams are timed and will generate a test report at the end of the exam so the clinical team can see what tests were passed and failed. These are helpful in ensuring we know what the nurse needs extra education on. HealthStream would be less suited for education items that would need to be validated in person...skills such as CPR.

• Automation learning enablement for target audience and complete end to end tracking of learning hours and content absorption through set defined metrices.
• Customization lies in the core and application is flexible enough to incorporate customized modules and contents and make learning highly effective and scalable
• The user friendly features and no hassle process flow invites millions of users to use the platform for upskilling their existing knowledge and skill.
• One stop solution for learning new age and futuristic skill without any pain or hassle as any learning can be done from remote at any time without any issue.

• Reporting. Having the ability to track compliance (and non-compliance) at our fingertips ensures that we are up-to-date with Federal, State, Local and internal policies, requirements and educational initiatives
• Customization. Developing in-house materials, specific to our variable training needs is a huge plus - HealthStream's commitment to SCORM-ready content since 2011 has made it simple for us to connect, engage and interact with all of our staff and providers.
• Integration. Allowing us to interface with our HRM/HRIS systems is invaluable. Keeping up with a dynamic workforce, both in terms of retention and attrition, would not be possible without our current interface structures.

• We have had a courses go missing along with the records of completion (this was reinstated when we raised a ticket)
• I have had issues where the credit points for Awards do not add up properly- this means that people who have completed an award show up as incomplete
• The 'mark as read' button is often missed because it is at the bottom of the screen

• Embedding elearning tutorials into HealthStream can be a bit complicated, and even slow down the site for the end user. In my experience, I found it much easier to just offer a link to the tutorial through the assessment portion.
• Keeping users synced into the most up-to-date user groups can be a bit tricky. If you create your own student groups, and then these students transfer to a different job role or department, you will manually have to make these changes yourself. A more automated process would be great.

Pretty sure we will renew

We just can't imagine NOT having HealthStream as it has become such a part of our training system. The per user cost has actually gone down from 3 years ago. However, we are using more courses we have purchased. This allows us to be more efficient with our time and more convenient for the end users. We are considering purchasing other aspects of the system.

Intuitive to upload. Record management and reporting needs some training.

I only used HealthStream for a short time, but it wasn’t overly user-friendly or pretty. There were some quirks that I didn’t like, like the quiz builder or uploading lists. Whenever you assigned a group it was difficult to tell and confirm that the assignment went out. Overall I like other systems better.

I have used and tested all of the above in a past life and as part of the review. All of them have really strong products but for Wave, Go1 provided a different approach. The company matches our values, and the content is relevant and of good quality (not saying that the others do not have this) it allows curation and is super easy to access. Implementation was simple and well-supported and the Go1 team is always there when we need them and we view them as part of our L&D team.

The interface for HealthStream is 1000x better than My Learning. I still struggle to find my assignments and upcoming in person training on My Learning. It is not intuitive and doesn't have a dashboard when you sign on to see everything at once. HealthStream lets me easily see my assignments, their due dates, and any upcoming dates
