Axio launches Mercy Online

Corporate development another flexible use of Axio Learning

A learning management system in a hospital? You may think this sounds a bit off, but Axio has stepped out of the educational realm to offer support to Mercy Regional Health Center in Manhattan, Kan., with the implementation of Mercy Online. Mercy Online meets the professional demands of nurses across Kansas by helping them to stay current on their continuing education needs.

Professional continuing education and relicensure is an issue that nurses continuously face. For nurses in rural areas of Kansas, this creates a challenge because they may not be close to a facility where these courses and renewal tools are offered. In addition, many have time constraints, and are challenged with meeting their continuing professional education needs while at the same time balancing their life outside of work.

Mercy hospital realizes that employees have a life outside of their career consisting of family and social obligations. Axio offers flexibility to these professional health care workers by allowing them to stay current with their professional education, relicencure and renewal via Mercy Online. In just one click, employees can do things their way -- wherever and whenever. Nurses can access Mercy Online from their personal computers, and Mercy employees can also access the program from through a hospital computer that is designated for educational purposes.
