title: Performance improvement through self-paced learning.
abstract: Organizations are facing the economic challenges of managed care while employees are facing the domino effect. Both are having an arduous time with changes in healthcare delivery. Employees don't automatically fall into line with strategic plans for organizational change. They need current information and assistance into obtaining the necessary training related to their jobs. How does a medical center help employees to integrate the organization's mission, vision, and values into all work processes in ways that meet their needs? Adult learners need to know why they need to grasp the concept of managed care and how they can apply it on the job.
