Boston, MA – October 4, 2012 – Advanced Practice Strategies (APS), a leading provider of education solutions for perinatal safety, will introduce a new generation of risk management and education tools at the American Society for Healthcare Risk Management (ASHRM) 2012 Annual Conference, the premier gathering of over 2,000 healthcare risk managers dedicated to learning more about the latest advancements, practices, and education offerings in their field.

“GNOSIS redefines continuing education in health care, making it data-driven, personalized, and time efficient.” said Dennis Ferrill, CEO of Advanced Practice Strategies. “Doctors and nurses have long resisted traditional training, but GNOSIS will vastly improve their experience, delivering education that is customized to their individual needs—no more time wasted on training in areas where they are already proficient. GNOSIS also delivers a whole new source of data to risk managers, so they can see exactly where future risk of error lies. GNOSIS is a new generation of risk management tool that uses education strategically to reduce costs.”

“GNOSIS is clearly the way of the future. We needed a whole new approach to identifying risk where it originates and providing education that addresses this risk and that works for doctors and nurses.  APS has succeeded in bringing this innovation to healthcare,” according to Jeff Driver, former President of ASHRM and CEO of the Stanford University Medical Network Risk Authority.

GNOSIS creates a mathematical representation of clinician competency and uses that data to identify exactly where risk of error exists. GNOSIS also creates a unique learning path for each clinician that is available on iPad, driven by their personal proficiency profile, and designed to make learning more engaging, relevant, and efficient. GNOSIS removes the obstacles to clinician adoption of critically important learning programs.

APS will showcase GNOSIS for OB™, which includes their extensive eLearning Perinatal Safety Curriculum, with courses in:
•   Advanced Fetal Assessment and Monitoring
•   Managing Shoulder Dystocia
•   Operative Vaginal Delivery
•   Postpartum Hemorrhage
