Client Challenge
Interim HealthCare of the Upstate is a community-focused health organization founded in 1979 and offering a full continuum of home health, personal care, and hospice services to South Carolina.
Over the years, Interim has continued to grow and expand, and recently began to experience an even greater uptick in client demand. In response, the organization needed an onboarding program that could easily scale training, improve staff satisfaction and retention, boost clinical competency, and reduce time to productivity for new full-time nursing hires.
Interim had previously used a combination of online and live classroom instruction, but realized that a classroom-based model was no longer sustainable as the organization grew. Instead, Interim leadership decided to implement a fully online system that could standardize high-quality training and track progress to improve performance.

MedBridge Solution
To improve its onboarding process, Interim turned to the MedBridge Skills and Competency Manager, an end-to-end solution for home health and hospice onboarding and training integrated within the MedBridge Learning Management System. By doing so, Interim has been able to implement an online onboarding program that seamlessly combines content produced by both Interim and MedBridge.
This new onboarding program has allowed Interim to:
- Standardize and scale training across the organization
- Prioritize hands-on training and track skill competency
- Reduce preceptor time
- Track staff satisfaction
