IHCA has selected Silverchair Learning Systems as its exclusive Preferred Learning Partner in an effort to bring its members effective solutions that will help improve their operations and reduce costs.

“We are excited to be partners with the IHCA and its affiliates,” said Mike Benzian, President of Silverchair Learning Systems. “They have over 50 years of history in creating an environment to help members be successful in providing efficient, quality long-term healthcare. IHCA has a strong record of providing educational resources to its members and they work hard to deliver value. We are excited to work together.”

IHCA recently created a partnership agreement with Silverchair Learning Systems in an effort to bring you a cost-effective, online training solution that can:

  • Reduce total costs of training by 75% or more.

  • Cut by at least two thirds the management time that is spent on developing, scheduling, delivering, tracking, and reporting on training.

  • Improve the effectiveness of training, as measured by pre- and post- tests that demonstrate mastery of the topics.

  • Ensure consistent material and delivery of training across all departments and facilities within the organization.

  • Easily track and report on compliance with a few quick keystrokes.

  • Easily be customized by editing courses (or creating your own new ones).

  • Use the “blended learning” approach adopted by most world class companies.

  • Empower employees to complete training on their own schedule, anywhere there is a PC, using a system they will find engaging and fun.

  • Be up and running in less than 60 days – with minimal impact on your organization.

This partnership will allow IHCA and its affiliates' members access to a highly effective, efficient, and affordable turn-key learning program that will deliver, track and report on educational programs for their entire organization. The program provides a complete curriculum of in-service and regulatory courses required by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), as well as important resident care topics that specifically address the needs of long-term care providers and their employees. The program can also be customized for their organization to include material specific to your facility.
