Efficiency Benefits Examples…

Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

During the 2nd evaluation of OLM eLearning covering two courses, IG and Infection Control the Trust recognised the following benefits:

• Potential cost savings of over £100,000 if a 90% compliance rate was achieved over the two subjects if delivered solely by eLearning. The Trust has c.2400 employees.

• e-Learning delivered a slightly more favourable knowledge retention rate than face to face training

• Feedback from subject matter leads and staff had significantly improved with staff achieving higher compliance rates

• Over time technical issues reported by staff decreased by 30% despite a dramatic increase in system use

Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust

• Safeguarding Children Level 1 completions in total 3568 (1808 through eLearning, 1760 by face to face). The results are as follows:

• Average Time for eLearning (allowing 15 minutes to log on) = 49 minutes

• Average Time for 1 hour face to face (allowing 45mins to travel) = 105 minutes

• This freed up 1687 hours (70 days) of time over the period of the project (2 months) which would otherwise have been spent away from service delivery
