Remote Learning Now Available for all Providers

NetLearning is now available for use by all medical staff members for remote learning. Many physicians used the application to complete their safety training. NetLearning can also be used to complete the didactic portion of ACLS recertification through the HeartCode program.
If on a WellStar computer, the NetLearning application is available via eSource by clicking on the WellStar Learning Network tab and then “NetLearning” under the “WLN Links” menu on the left.  When accessing NetLearning remotely, not through a WellStar computer, open an Internet browser and go to https://netapp.netlearning.com/ncsi/login.aspx?id=317.

WellStar team members can log in to NetLearning by using their employee number. Physicians, advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, and others who are not employed by WellStar will log in to NetLearning using the login provided by the medical staff office for Safety First 2011.
We plan to post other learning programs in the near future.  The next will be a learning module concerning Georgia’s Advance Directive law and the POLST document. Most of the programs you will access in NetLearning will be associated with CME credits. Some programs, like HeartCode, may be associated with fees. For more information, contact the Organizational Learning staff through eSource.

Physician Leadership Academy

WellStar’s Physician Leadership Academy is now accepting applications for its inaugural class starting on May 22. The Academy will bring graduate level leadership and business education to physicians, advanced practice nurses and physician assistants. Applications and information are available on eSource under the WellStar Learning Network tab or by contacting Don Campbell, M.D., at don.campbell@wellstar.org. The deadline for applications is April 26. 

Physician Leadership Academy Coming in May

WellStar’s Organizational Learning Department has partnered with the Coles School of Business at Kennesaw State University to offer physicians and advanced practitioners a certificate course. The course will build leadership and communication skills along with improved business acumen. Participants can expect to learn skills that will be immediately useful in their medical staff roles, as well as in their interaction with team members and patients.

Medical Student Rotation Changes

WellStar is committed to treating patients in a secure and private environment. To that end, medical student rotations will be limited at WellStar.

Behavioral Health Update

WellStar’s Behavioral Health is committed to supporting team members who care for patients with both behavioral health and physical conditions. Patients admitted for medical reasons who are also on a legal hold are designated as 1013 or 2013—legal descriptions that ensure patients can be held for examination for their safety.
