title: Education and training need to be brought up-to-date.
abstract: Training of hospital employees consumes a large segment of total hospital dollars, so it is important to document clear proof of value. If training programs are to be successful, they must be relevant to the measured needs of the institution. In addition to this essential characteristic of the training process, the author discusses six others that affect the outcome of such programs.
