Training surgeons on a device that has to be used correctly
Sirius Medical makes a localisation device used in breast cancer surgery. Before a hospital may use it, its team has to be trained, and that training has to be recorded: who did it, when, and on which version of the protocol.
That was a spreadsheet, an inbox and a lot of trust.
A learning environment, not a website
We built a web application: courses per role, per language and per market, with progress kept per user and a certificate at the end of each one.
- Courses per role, per language and per market.
- Progress and certificates recorded per user.
- Hospital administrators can see their own team, and only their own team.
- Every protocol version kept, so an old record still says what was trained.
The last of those four is the one the auditors care about, and it is the reason a spreadsheet could not stay.
The result
Over 900 users have been trained through the platform. Onboarding a new hospital is now a matter of inviting them, and the evidence of who was trained on what is a query rather than an afternoon.
Questions about this project
Because the training has to be provable. The courses run per role, per language and per market, and every protocol version is kept, so a record from two years ago still says what was trained at the time. That last part is what a standard platform could not do, and it is the part the auditors ask about.
A hospital administrator sees their own team and only their own team. Sirius Medical sees the whole picture across markets.
The new version becomes the course, and the old one stays on record. Someone trained on the previous version keeps a certificate that names that version, so nothing has to be re-issued to stay accurate.
