Continuing Medical Education

Reinforce Medical Education

For hospitals offering education to medical residents, or for independent providers of continuing medical education, Qstream can help you increase the competency of students and ultimately improve patient care. Qstream can be used to reinforce live CME events, or on its own.

Qstream was developed and is used at Harvard Medical School. Qstream uses a “spaced education” methodology, a scientifically proven approach that increases knowledge retention from 3 months to 2 years, and changes even ingrained on-the-job performance. It offers personalized learning and adapts to individual performance.

Provide New Revenue Streams

Qstream uses a question and answer format that includes robust explanations. Courses can be created and deployed quickly using existing content to open up new revenue streams.

Learners love Qstream and come back for more. It’s a fun way to reinforce medical knowledge in just 3 to 5 minutes a day – a good fit with busy schedules. Qstream completion rates are over 70% for optional courses and even higher for required courses. Learners prefer Qstream 3:1 over traditional web-based training.

Capture Mindshare

CME funders gain critical mindshare because Qstream is quick, fun, and continuous. Learners respond to questions via email every few days giving CME funders ongoing contact with medical professionals.

With Qstream, there are no barriers to learning. Whether they are in the office or doing rounds in the hospital, learners can respond to questions via laptops, iPads and other mobile devices.

Monitor Progress & Completion

Qstream has a powerful data-tracking engine that tracks learners throughout their courses. Both summary and detailed analysis by learner and by question are available live in the system at any time. Data can be exported for further analysis or sent to CME funders.

Learner engagement reports enable management to monitor activity levels, identify learners who are falling behind, and track course completions. Learner performance reports enable management to track baseline performance and content mastery for groups and individuals.
