Continuing Medical Education and Skills Assessments

Purpose: DOC seeks a vendor that can provide a current, evidence-based, software as a service (SaaS) educational solution for DOC Health Services staff. In addition to providing continuing medical education resources, the ideal vendor would provide courses to help develop nursing staff through interactive skills assessments. All nurses are mandated by licensure to complete annual continuing education, and this would ensure that that the continuing education is completed and relevant to their practice.
