“As Houston Methodist continued to grow, we realized that it was critical to hire employees who would reinforce and drive the organizational culture,” said Carole Hackett, senior vice president of HR. “We needed candidates who displayed the behaviors associated with a high degree of patient focus.”
“One in four employees was new to the organization, and the new hires needed to be integrated into the culture. It was time to take a closer look at who was being hired, why turnover was increasing, and how to prevent dilution of Houston Methodist’s strong culture and values. With a lot of new people and a lot of change, we needed to create a plan.”
“Our managers had always been good at assessing candidates’ technical expertise, but we wanted to make sure they were identifying the candidates who were also the best cultural fit for the organization.”

Now I can message the information - patient name, room and what needs to be done - and the responding nurse has all the information at her fingertips. Information didn't have to be written down on a piece of paper somewhere, reducing miscommunications or mistakes. And it keeps patient information safe."
“We especially appreciate that symplr Learning is tailored to the healthcare industry and our employee population. Rather than create new courses, our education department can simply access existing courses geared toward healthcare. Moreover, they can integrate records from other systems, so employees have a single transcript.

"Being in a support role for the health system, we use it every day as part of our workflows and to support the clinical teams. As we partner with different departments, providers, and clinics, it is a great tool for them to reach out to us directly and let us know what is happening in real-time, especially if it is affecting patient care. It is our one organizational communication tool now, and we couldn’t be happier with the results."
"The previous Excel spreadsheet had to be updated and printed out, which was a very manual process, and we never knew if things were accurate. Now everything is up to date and it has completely changed our on-call system schedule. As we add facilities and providers, we train all the new users and incorporate their schedules into our system so we can all communicate on the same platform. When we message other clinicians, we reach them immediately."
