HIPAA Refresh: 'The 8-Minute Rule'
Cut a 90-minute HIPAA module to 8 minutes of branching scenarios. Completion went from 61% → 92% across a 14-hospital health system.
Impact & Results
Step 1 — The Situation
A 14-hospital health system saw annual HIPAA completion drop to 61% after rolling out a 90-minute legacy course. Clinical staff were dropping out mid-module and managers were chasing completions through Q4.
Step 2 — The Task
As a Senior Instructional Designer, I led the end-to-end design and development of this project — from discovery and needs analysis through final delivery and implementation support.
