ONS Center for Innovation Launches New Tool to Improve Nurses' Professional Development
PITTSBURGH, PA, May 27, 2021—Today ONS released ONS On-Demand™, a new distribution platform that provides an efficient solution to deliver ONS evidence-based education to institutions and healthcare networks. The tool gives administrators the ability to assign courses to staff and offers reporting on course completion activity. The product supports nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) reporting requirements for accreditation programs and staff continuous professional development.
With ONS On-Demand, administrators have a streamlined experience that does not require registration or vouchers. Learner transcripts can easily be exported into human resource information systems (HRIS) and makes it simple to complete self-service administration tasks and support reporting for accreditation requirements.
“ONS On-Demand enhances access to ONS educational offerings, considered the gold standard of oncology nursing evidence-based resources,” Michele Galioto, DNP, RN, CNS, executive director of the ONS Center for Innovation, said. “Easier access to orientation and continuous professional development programming facilitates standardizing educational pathways for oncology nurses across hospital systems.”
ONS maintains more than 50 courses with additional offerings every year. The self-paced learning activities cover a broad range of topics in oncology nursing for nurses at every level working in every type of practice setting. Popular courses like Cancer Basics and the nurse orientation bundle can be included in the ONS On-Demand central portal for staff learning.
