What the guide covers

Choosing a video learning solution involves more than comparing feature lists. It requires a clear picture of where your organization stands today, what your learners need, and which capabilities will support your goals over time.

The buyer's guide is built around two core tools:

A structured evaluation checklist for current and future state assessment. Before you sit through a single demo, this checklist helps you assess your organization's existing workflows, learner needs, integration requirements, and scalability goals. It surfaces gaps you may not have considered and helps align your team around shared priorities.

A vendor comparison chart. Once you're ready to evaluate solutions, this chart gives you a consistent framework to assess each option across the features that matter most to healthcare organizations. It's designed to cut through vendor positioning and help you determine whether a solution genuinely fits your needs.

Together, these tools help your team enter vendor conversations prepared, ask the questions that matter, and make a decision grounded in your organization's specific requirements.

Key questions buyers are asking

How can we create high-quality video training without relying on outside vendors?
Look for a solution with a centralized, intuitive interface that includes video editing, branding, and interactive features. This empowers your internal teams to produce consistent, professional content efficiently.

How will learners access content, and can we track their progress?
Prioritize solutions that offer mobile-friendly access and flexible on-demand viewing. Integrated analytics are essential for monitoring learner activity, tracking completion rates, and identifying areas for improvement.

Will this solution work with our existing LMS?
Proven interoperability is critical. A solution that integrates with your LMS ensures a unified experience for both administrators and learners, without requiring additional tools or workarounds.

How can a video solution scale as our organization grows?
Choose a solution that adapts to your needs, from individual educator uploads to organization-wide collaboration. Flexible storage options and scalable architecture ensure the solution grows alongside you.

Trusted by healthcare organizations across the country

Hawai'i Pacific Health implemented HealthStream's® video learning solution in three weeks to deliver ECMO training during COVID-19 lockdowns, when in-person training was no longer possible. Training was divided into digestible segments, supported by virtual Q&A sessions, and concluded with brief in-person simulation. Within eight months, the availability of ECMO at Straub Medical Center contributed to 13 lives saved.

Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare used HealthStream Video+ to build a more accurate and efficient employee orientation program. The result: a four-hour reduction in orientation time, and no longer needing to recruit speakers for weekly sessions. New employees moved from orientation to productivity faster, with completion rates that were easier to track and verify.
