STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced its collaboration with Prophecy Healthcare. Prophecy Healthcare provides the premier nurse assessment suite that evaluates not only the knowledge of nurse applicants, but also their attitudes, personalities, interpersonal competence, and decision making processes.
Under the deal, Elsevier will distribute Prophecy's pre-hire and clinical competency assessments to complement its Mosby's Nursing Suite and Elsevier Performance Manager solutions to provide a 360-degree, online solution for assessment, staff development and competency tracking.
Prophecy claims to be the only testing programme in the healthcare market that takes a holistic, or 'whole person,' approach to predicting job performance. The combined results help promote patient safety and satisfaction, while reducing internal conflict and turnover. Hospitals using Prophecy report that the quality of their hires improves and retention levels increase almost immediately.
Mosby's Nursing Suite includes Mosby's Nursing Skills, standardising the way clinical and practical skills are taught, learned and administered; Mosby's Nursing Consult, delivering the fast, accurate clinical information your nurses need; Mosby's Index, enhancing patient outcomes through research-based care; and Mosby's eLearning, advancing healthcare with confidence through continuing education.
Elsevier Performance Manager is an online education and performance management solution that offers tools to better manage, develop and communicate with hospital staff.
Elsevier will distribute Prophecy's nationally validated pre-hire healthcare assessments and clinical competency assessments, helping facilities to predict job performance of candidates as well as to identify continued areas for growth of incumbent staff.
