The Open Collaboration Initiative™ (OCI) brings together local, regional, provincial and national healthcare organizations across Canada and connects them to facilitate the exchange of training material and staff learning records. By linking their learning management systems, these healthcare organizations can:
Share training material with each other, for free or a fee
Exchange learning records and proof of completion electronically
Monetize their courses
The OCI connects some of Canada’s largest research and teaching hospitals, as well as hundreds of smaller hospitals, healthcare associations, primary care and community care providers. As the Account Owner or Administrator for a site that is part of the OCI Network, you are joining one of Canada's largest educational network for the healthcare sector.
Benefits
The OCI benefits everyone in the network, including employers, workers, and the health system in general.
