Education Management Solutions Unveils 'Competency and Beyond'

Introduction
At the IMSH 2025 event in Orlando, Florida, Education Management Solutions (EMS) has officially launched its innovative 'Competency and Beyond' initiative, aiming to transform healthcare education through a robust and comprehensive framework. Focused on a multi-dimensional approach, the initiative seeks to enhance not just the skills assessment but also the overall understanding of patient care in healthcare training.

What is the 'Competency and Beyond' Initiative?

The 'Competency and Beyond' initiative is a paradigm shift in how competency development is approached within healthcare education. EMS’s CEO Matt Merino emphasizes the importance of integrating knowledge, skills, and behaviors into the educational process. This integration ensures that future healthcare professionals develop a holistic understanding of patient care rather than isolating their skills into categories.

By leveraging cutting-edge simulation technologies alongside evidence-based practices, EMS is setting a new standard for competency-based training. As Merino states, "Competency and Beyond represents a significant paradigm shift in healthcare education... It’s about fostering a deeper understanding of patient care."

Addressing Healthcare Workforce Challenges

The challenges posed by competitive healthcare systems today require innovative solutions that extend beyond traditional benchmarks. EMS's approach not only caters to higher education institutions but also addresses pressing workforce development needs in healthcare. With their emphasis on competency-focused initiatives, EMS provides healthcare educators and trainers with effective tools to create structured programs that meet the evolving demands of the industry.

This comprehensive program is designed to help create a more capable and skilled workforce, ultimately benefiting patient care outcomes. Imagine a scenario where educators are equipped to assess competencies effectively while also encouraging learners to strive for higher standards in medical practice.

Training in Motion® Expands

In addition to the 'Competency and Beyond' initiative, EMS has announced that their flagship mobile simulation solution, Training in Motion®, now includes Android compatibility. This development signifies their commitment to flexibility and accessibility in medical training. With Training in Motion®, users can conduct simulations and training sessions anytime and anywhere, an essential feature in today’s diverse learning environments.

As Merino notes, "This highly capable, anytime-anywhere solution reflects EMS's dedication to meeting the evolving needs of our partners.
