For decades, healthcare has invested heavily in training, yet very little has produced lasting behavioral change. Although these efforts provide essential skills and knowledge, there remains a need for sustained support to help professionals put learning into practice.
Practicing Excellence founder Dr. Stephen Beeson recently expanded on this idea in the San Diego Business Journal (subscription required), saying, “It is widely accepted that, on average, only 10% to 20% of what is learned in [learning and development] programs is transferred back into the workplace.”
He added, “Traditionally, trainers are taught tools and techniques that make the learning sticky and more effective in the classroom or online, but rarely do they tackle what will enable the training to be effectively implemented outside of the classroom, as part of a day-to-day role.”
This lack of real-world reinforcement exposes a major gap in traditional learning programs: limited scalability, difficulty applying learning in real time, and generic content misaligned with individual or organizational needs. Without ongoing support, clinicians and staff struggle to implement new skills in healthcare’s fast-paced, unpredictable environment.
To address this challenge, Practicing Excellence offers technology-enabled, real-time learning reinforcement that bridges the gap between traditional training and everyday practice. Unlike conventional methods, Practicing Excellence delivers ongoing, tailored support that fits seamlessly into workflows.
As President and CEO, Gidon Margolin, stated in the San Diego Business Journal, “We view technology as an enabler, and we think about it in the context of, ‘How do we help these organizations drive alignment?’ [We’re] making sure all their people are rowing in the same direction around the goals and priorities that they’ve set.”
What does that look like in practice? A unique integration of advanced technology and practical coaching that empowers clinicians, leaders, and staff.
Practicing Excellence powers this technology with an extensive library of healthcare-specific developmental resources and microlearning videos. These resources were developed based on proven coaching methods, real-world scenarios, advisor insights, and user case studies to directly address the needs of the healthcare workforce.
Margolin summed it up best in the San Diego Business Journal: “It’s really hard to be a leader in healthcare today. At the end of the day, we are going through a major change right now, where everything we did yesterday hasn’t really worked… [At Practicing Excellence] we’re making a huge difference as we think about how to bring alignment, personalization, and scale to these organizations in a way that democratizes learning.”
By connecting daily behaviors to strategic goals, Practicing Excellence’s workforce enablement system helps ensure that learning is both personalized and actionable.
