TRAINING MANAGEMENT
Training management software inclusive learning success control
The DHC VISION TRAINING solution digitizes all training phases, from planning to follow-up. Training may relate to specific topics such as hygiene or to documents such as SOPs. With the optional learning success control at the end of the “closed loop” processes, DHC VISION sets new standards in quality assurance and “regulatory compliance”.
Especially in highly regulated industries, training and qualification measures must be planned, carried out and documented in a traceable manner. Also, a detailed and verifyable documentation of training results is mandatory. To ensure compliance with applicable regulations, DHC VISION captures all training status information throughout the entire process. Training activities can be traced and controlled due to digital employee training processes with best-practice workflows. The result is an increase in transparency: It is easy to check on an employee’s training status with regard to relevant training items (e.g. SOPs or topics); training gaps become apparent.
Authorities and regulatory organizations, such as EMA or FDA, also require detailed documentation and proof of training results. The module DHC VISION Learning Success Control responds with differentiated tests, which make it easy to determine whether training content actually is understood. Different types of quizzes are available; multimedia elements can be included. Interactive online tests play a key role in employee training and certification; they allow for assessing training effectiveness and the successful transfer of training results to specific contexts of application.

Insight into our customer relations
“We were looking for an integrated document, CAPA and process management tool for our Germany-wide branch network in order to digitise the creation, review, approval or training of our SOPs and processes, but also the application of our QM system. Among other things, this is connected with the goal of accelerating our processes and minimising risks. In addition to the beautiful design and the high level of user-friendliness, we were particularly convinced by the implementation concept and the validation expertise of DHC; in retrospect, this was also the case with the consultants during the implementation. DHC VISION has brought us significant steps forward in the field of our quality assurance.”

FAQ
What types of training are supported in combination with DHC VISION SOP Management (controlled documents)?
The SOP Management module provides procedures for distributing documents to a defined group of people. They can be distributed either for information or for acknowledgement. If content needs to be formally trained, further processes are available in a dedicated Training Management module. For example, documents can be automatically forwarded to employees; they confirm that they have “read and understood” the content. The module also covers classroom training or classroom events; trainers receive announcements, participant lists, feedback forms, and much more.
Can DHC VISION Training Management also be used stand-alone?
The SOP Management module is our solution for managing and controlling specification documents. It also provides the basis for employee training. With DHC VISION, we focus on the holistic digitization of the document life cycle. This includes not only the release of documents; it also covers training management and the verification of learning success. Thus, we implement “closed loop processes” – from document creation to learning success monitoring.
DHC VISION beinhaltet hierzu Best-Practices für Qualitätsmanagementprozesse basierend auf über 20 Jahren Erfahrung. Das DHC VISION SOP Management, unsere Lösung zur Dokumentenlenkung, unterstützt darüber hinaus die Einhaltung der strengen Vorschriften und gewährleistet die Compliance-Konformität. Reports, Dashboards oder Monitoring-Mechanismen liefern jederzeit die notwendige Übersicht zum Status der Vorgabedokumentation, deren Gültigkeit sowie zur Nachvollziehbarkeit. Unternehmen sind damit jederzeit auskunftsfähig und bereit für ein Audit.
How does DHC VISION training management differ from learning management systems?
DHC VISION is designed for use in regulated industries, i.e., the pharmaceutical, chemical, medical technology industries. The system, in particular, targets the EMA and FDA regulated world. Hence, its focus is on training content provided in key documents; DHC VISION generates the proof of training required by regulation, which essentially is based on employees testifying that they have “read and understood” the document. The training status of employees commonly is checked in audits and inspections.
Learning Management Systems (LMS) are specialized in HR processes such as education and training, personnel development, or talent management. This usually includes course catalogs, learning media of various formats, e-learning courses to which employees can register themselves. LMS generally include authoring tools for the creation of multimedia learning content.
The validation of such system – not to mention their GxP-compliant development – is very time-consuming, if possible at all. Therefore, LMSs in the life sciences are often used for non-GxP-critical processes and training content only.
Our DHC VISION eDMS, by contrast, is specifically designed for the “validated” environment with its regulations on document management as well as training procedures and functions. The training solution focuses on specification documents, GxP or compliance topics, i.e., training measures and content required by law, regulation, or in-house guidelines – and where 100% traceability is required.
