Healthcare eLearning solutions from IKHYA
IKHYA builds custom healthcare eLearning solutions for L&D, clinical education and compliance teams in hospitals, health systems, pharma and life sciences. We turn your policies, protocols and product data into short, trackable courses: compliance modules, branching clinical scenarios, software simulations and sales training, delivered as SCORM or xAPI for your LMS and checked by your own experts.
Healthcare and life sciences is one of the industries we build for. See all sectors on our eLearning by industry page.
Why healthcare teams work with IKHYA
Your protocols, not a generic library
We build from your policies, SOPs and product information, so staff learn the way your organization actually works. Your clinical or compliance experts approve the storyboard and the final course before anything goes live.
Hospital staff training that fits around shifts
Microlearning modules and mobile learning that a nurse, pharmacist or field rep can finish in a short break, on a phone or a ward computer.
Records your auditors can use
Courses output to SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 or xAPI, so your LMS records who completed what, when and with which score. We test every course in your LMS before launch.
One course, many sites and languages
We localize courses into 40+ languages with human or AI voiceover, so every site and country gets the same content.
What healthcare and pharma teams train with eLearning
Most healthcare training is driven by a rule, a policy or a product launch. The table below shows what some common US rules ask of training, in the regulator's own words, and the eLearning format that usually fits. Your compliance or quality team decides which rules apply to you; we build the training around the requirements and policies you give us.
| Training need | Who it's for | What the rule asks of training | eLearning format that fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patient privacy (HIPAA Privacy Rule, 45 CFR 164.530(b)) | All workforce members | Train every workforce member on your privacy policies, new staff within a reasonable period, and again after a material change; document the training. HIPAA sets no fixed yearly interval. | Short scenario modules on real privacy situations (hallway talk, misdirected fax, social media), with a quiz your LMS records |
| Security awareness (HIPAA Security Rule, 45 CFR 164.308(a)(5)) | All workforce, including management | A security awareness and training program for all members of the workforce, including management | Microlearning on phishing, passwords and device use, refreshed as threats change |
| Bloodborne pathogens (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2)) | Staff with occupational exposure | Training at initial assignment and at least annually, during working hours, at no cost; an opportunity for interactive questions and answers with the trainer; records kept 3 years | eLearning for the knowledge part, plus a named trainer or hotline for questions and your site-specific details (see the note below) |
| Drug manufacturing (FDA CGMP, 21 CFR 211.25(a)) | Manufacturing, packaging and QA staff | Training in the operations each person performs and in CGMP, given by qualified individuals on a continuing basis and often enough that staff stay familiar with the rules | SOP-based modules, step-by-step process simulations, short refreshers when an SOP changes |
| Clinical trials (ICH E6(R3) GCP, adopted January 6, 2025) | Investigators, coordinators, monitors, sponsor staff | Everyone involved in a trial should be qualified by education, training and experience for their tasks | Protocol and role training, scenario practice on consent and deviations |
| Pharma sales reps (PhRMA Code, section 14, effective January 1, 2022) | Reps who visit health care professionals | Training on the laws, regulations and codes (including the Code) that govern rep interactions, plus science and product knowledge consistent with FDA requirements; updated training as needed; periodic assessment | Product and disease modules, compliant-conversation scenarios, test-me assessments |
| Medical devices (FDA QMSR, 21 CFR Part 820, effective February 2, 2026) | Device makers' manufacturing and quality teams | The QMSR incorporates ISO 13485:2016 by reference; ask your quality team which training records your quality system requires | Procedure and product training mapped to your quality system |
| Onboarding and everyday skills | New hires, support staff, patient-facing teams | Set by your own policies | Onboarding paths, customer service in healthcare training, software simulations of the systems staff use |
Note on bloodborne pathogens training online: OSHA has said (letter of June 11, 1997) that computer-based training "by itself" would not meet the intent of most of its training rules, and that in a computer-based program the live questions-and-answers requirement may be met with a telephone hotline to a qualified trainer. The same letter points out that the training includes site-specific elements. So plan the course with a named trainer, a way to reach them, and a section on your own exposure control plan.

Not sure which option is right for you?
Medical simulation training on screen: what it can and can't do
In healthcare, "simulation" often means a sim lab with manikins and a facilitator. Screen-based simulation is different: learners make decisions in a realistic case and see the consequences, at their own pace, as many times as they need.
Branching clinical scenarios
Scenario-based training where learners choose what to do next (escalate, document, speak up, reassure a patient) and get feedback on each choice. Good for patient safety, handoffs, privacy decisions and communication.
Software simulations
Show-me, try-me and test-me simulations of the systems staff use every day, so people practice a workflow before they touch live records.
360-degree scenarios in Adobe Captivate
360-degree photo and video scenarios built in Adobe Captivate let learners look around a real space, such as a ward, a pharmacy or a cleanroom, and spot hazards or next steps.
What it can't do: screen-based simulation builds knowledge and decision-making. It does not replace supervised hands-on practice for clinical skills, so plan it as preparation, not as the skills sign-off. eLearning can come before a sim-lab session, so learners arrive knowing the steps and the lab time goes on practice.
Pharmaceutical training: sales, manufacturing, quality and clinical trial teams
Pharmaceutical training has to be accurate, current and recorded, because regulators and industry codes expect it. We build pharmaceutical training solutions, delivered as online courses your LMS tracks, for four groups.
Pharmaceutical sales training
Product and disease-state modules, compliant-conversation scenarios and test-me assessments for reps. The PhRMA Code (section 14) asks companies to train reps on the laws, regulations and codes that govern their interactions with health care professionals, give them enough science and product knowledge to share accurate information consistent with FDA requirements, and assess them periodically. An online pharmaceutical sales training program lets you update every rep at once when a label or policy changes.
Manufacturing and packaging
SOP-based modules and process simulations for manufacturing, packaging and warehouse staff, with short refreshers when an SOP changes. 21 CFR 211.25(a) asks for training in each person's operations and in CGMP on a continuing basis.
Quality and audit teams
Courses on deviations, CAPA, documentation and audit readiness, built from your quality procedures and reviewed by your QA team.
Clinical trial teams
Protocol and role-based training for site and sponsor staff. ICH E6(R3) GCP says everyone involved in a trial should be qualified by education, training and experience for their tasks.

Mobile-first privacy and infection-control training for 4,000 hospital staff
A US regional hospital network with 5 hospitals had a 2-hour annual PDF and slide course that staff on shifts could not finish.
- What we built
- 8 microlearning modules of 6 to 8 minutes in Articulate Rise 360
- Patient-privacy scenarios reviewed by the network's compliance officer
- Built to WCAG 2.1 AA and delivered as SCORM 1.2 in 7 weeks
- Results
- Measured with LMS completion and quiz data (first cycle vs the previous year), on-time completion rose from 71% to 94%.
- The average quiz score was 88%.
"Nurses can finish a module on their phones between patients now. Completion stopped being a monthly chase for our managers, and the compliance officer signed off on every scenario before launch, so we had no surprises."
Across industries, IKHYA has delivered 500+ projects since 2010 for clients in 40+ countries, including a compliance overhaul that raised completion and pass rates from 61% to 82% across 1,200 employees.
Healthcare eLearning FAQs
Healthcare eLearning solutions are online courses, simulations and assessments that train hospital, health system, pharma and life sciences staff on clinical, compliance, product and system skills. They run in a learning management system (LMS), which records completions and scores for audits.
Partly. OSHA requires an opportunity for interactive questions and answers with the person conducting the training, and has said computer-based training alone is not enough, though a hotline to a qualified trainer can meet the Q&A part.
HIPAA does not set a fixed interval. The Privacy Rule requires training for new workforce members within a reasonable period, again when a material change affects their functions, and documentation of the training. Your own policy can add a yearly refresher.
No. Screen-based simulation builds knowledge and decision-making, but clinical skills still need supervised practice. eLearning works best before a sim-lab or bedside session.
Credit is given by an accredited provider, not by the course builder. ACCME accredits organizations that offer continuing medical education, not individual activities. If your organization is an accredited provider, or works with one, the course we build can be the activity that goes through its process.
It depends on course length, interactivity, the number of review rounds and how quickly your clinical reviewers can respond. We agree a schedule with review dates at the start.
Your own experts. We design and build the course; your clinical, compliance or medical reviewers approve the storyboard before development and sign off the final version.
Yes. We deliver SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI or HTML5, test every course in your LMS before launch and localize into 40+ languages with human or AI voiceover.
