Harris Continues Healthcare Growth With Acquisition Of Sedona Learning Solutions

Harris acquires Sedona Learning Solutions, a provider of custom eLearning and education consulting to hospitals across the US and Canada.

Ottawa, ON (PRWEB) - Harris, a global vertical market software provider, has acquired Sedona Learning Solutions, a provider of custom eLearning and education consulting to hospitals across the US and Canada. Sedona will become a division of iatricSystems, a Harris Healthcare company that helps healthcare organizations improve patient care and outcomes with expertise in electronic health records (EHRs), interoperability, patient privacy, and analytics.

“We’re very excited to be joining iatricSystems because their mission and values mirror our own, while enabling us to bring our skills in front of a larger audience,” says Kerry Kuehn, Founder, Sedona Learning Solutions. “They provide advanced healthcare technology customized for the needs of clinicians and hospitals, while we deliver highly-targeted, custom learning solutions that empower clinicians to use that technology to full advantage in daily patient care. As part of iatricSystems, we will be able to expand the services we offer to provide clients with even more options and flexibility in custom learning solutions.”

Rob Rhodes, Executive Vice President of iatricSystems, explains that education is one of the top factors in a successful EHR rollout but delivering it effectively requires strategies beyond generic classroom instruction or canned online modules. “Sedona ‘gets it’ — rather than training, they emphasize learning. What stood out for us, in addition to their knowledge of MEDITECH and other EMR/EHR systems, was their ability to create role-based, scenario-driven learning solutions that work in the real world of brutal schedules and varied learning preferences. Beyond this flexibility, their content is designed to help clinicians retain what they learn so when a new EHR system goes live, nurses and physicians will be able to use it effectively and with confidence.”

Jerry Canada, Jr., Harris Healthcare Group President, comments, “By bringing together world-class expertise in healthcare technology and instructional design, iatricSystems and Sedona Learning Solutions will be able to deliver educational solutions with the highest value for clinicians and hospitals. As part of the Harris Healthcare family, they’ll share the advantages of being part of a larger organization dedicated to strengthening our customers as they strive to fulfill their mission.”
