Online Learning Can Help Cancer Registrars

(excerpts from Online Learning Guide for Cancer Registrars. A free eBook you can request by visiting CancerRegistryTraining)

While healthcare organization budgets are being reduced to facilitate “lean” and cost-effective patient care, the use of the Internet as a training source is on the rise. In a recent study where a retrospective ten-year analysis was conducted it was determined that the Internet has become the number one source for information and training for Internet users.

This current trend could be good news for companies in the e-learning business, as it can fill the void left by organizations that are controlling costs by restricting travel and educational budgets. In a study conducted by International Data Corp (IDC), in the year 2000, the Internet e-learning market generated nearly $2.3 billion and is predicted to show a growth rate of more than 50 percent, meaning it will exceed $18 billion in 2005.

You may be wondering what these trends mean to the world of Cancer Registry. Because Cancer Registry departments are usually budgeted as “overhead” cost centers, they are susceptible to cost cutbacks and reductions in line items such as travel and education. The Cancer Registry professional, then, is forced to find creative ways in which they can obtain advanced learning while maintaining their continuing education credit as required for national certification. It is unfortunate; too, that these very same individuals are often those that have lower salary ranges and fewer job benefits or perks which makes the cost of training even more critical. Many Cancer Registry professionals are seeking creative and effective alternatives in order to meet their learning and certification needs. Certainly online learning is an affordable and easy solution well-suited to their needs.
