Profile
The Kentucky Department of Public Health/Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (KDPH/CDC) selected Trivantis Corporation’s Custom Development Services (CDS) team to develop several interactive online training courses. "The expertise and knowledge of Trivantis’ skilled graphic designers, multimedia experts, and instructional designers, led us to choose Trivantis as our custom development vendor," said Jeff Brock, Immunization Registry Coordinator at Kentucky Department of Health.

"In order to accomplish all of our elearning initiatives, we would need a skilled team of course developers who could quickly meet our needs...we called Trivantis."

Challenge
The Kentucky Department of Public Health/Centers for Disease Control & Prevention will soon begin implementing an electronic Public Health Records System (ePHRS). In order to successfully launch this new software system to healthcare agencies and practices statewide, KDPH/CDC needed to develop elearning modules to teach users the step-by-step process of login, patient record lookup, patient record creation and update, ad hoc reporting, and access to online help. "We knew that in order to accomplish all of these elearning initiatives, we would need a skilled team of course developers who could quickly meet our needs,” said Brock. “Therefore, we called upon Trivantis."

Solution
In order to help KDPH/CDC meet the challenge of training healthcare officials across the state on the new online system, Trivantis’ focus lies in three main components of the project, which include creating engaging online training modules, a help module, and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) gallery.

Trivantis has already begun to develop two interactive online training modules that will help to teach the ePHRS system in a fun and engaging environment. Filled with images, text, interactivity and software simulations, the online modules will walk users through the basics of the two components of the ePHRS system—the Disease Surveillance Module and the Immunization Registry Module.

Trivantis was also called upon to develop an online help module that will be accessed by users directly through the ePHRS system. This help module will provide instant help to users while working in the software. Users may type in key words or topics of interests to search for helpful hints and topics on how to perform functions in the new system.

Trivantis’ CDS team is also developing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) gallery that will include intuitive GUI designs that meet pre-established branding specifications. As avid Lectora users, KDPH/CDC will use the pre-made GUIs to aid them in creating future courses of their own to be used for healthcare training throughout the State of Kentucky.

"The progress to date just proves to Kentucky Department of Health that we made the right choice in selecting Trivantis,” said Brock. “I am confident that the finished product will be more than we could have asked for."
