Allosource Joins Ranks of Organ Procurement Organizations Embracing Confidence-Based Learning™ for Consortium and Partners
Denver, CO (PRWeb) February 8, 2007 -- Knowledge Factor (www.knowledgefactor.com), the leader in Confidence-Based Learning, today announced it has been chosen by AlloSource, one of the nation's largest non-profit providers of bone and soft tissue allografts, as well as allograft skin for burn applications, for use in surgical procedures. AlloSource selected Knowledge Factor to validate that all of its owner agencies and contracted partner agencies have total mastery of the processes and regulations that govern their work. AlloSource will utilize Knowledge Factor's patented Confidence-Based Learning System™ (CBL System™) to deliver educational programs that will take employees to mastery in order to improve their performance and reduce mistakes.
"AlloSource's first commitment is to the safety of patients so we are constantly auditing our processes, including our training, to ensure that our people maintain the highest standards," said Dan Maye, Vice President of Donor Services at AlloSource. "We needed a way to prove knowledge through accurate analytics that demonstrate comprehension of our own pertinent content. Knowledge Factor's Confidence-Based Learning System gives us a mechanism to evaluate competency and assess what people actually know."
AlloSource selected Confidence-Based Learning after discovering that Knowledge Factor had a growing number of clients in the organ procurement sector and that the program offered legitimate, value-added services to its agencies. The CBL System's online, content-rich system will replace the lecture format that was used and which generally precludes knowledge measurement. The courses to be rolled out in the first quarter of 2007 will cover donor eligibility criteria, organ recovery physical assessments and industry standards.
"AlloSource partners with many other organizations that rely heavily on mastery to remain compliant with federal regulations and to increase the performance of their people," said Mark Dreher, Chief Executive Officer of Knowledge Factor. "In organizations and industries that depend heavily on accurate knowledge, Confidence-Based Learning is the solution that not only educates, but offers analytics that prove that learning has taken place."

The Benefits of Learning Other Languages
Most of people took 2nd language classes in school, but people still can not speak the language after years.

It slows you down to learn other languages. You need to master the language for business, for interests, or for education in the short period of time.
