Virginia Beach, VA, March 16, 2009 - Coastal announces the launch of an eLearning Pilot Program for healthcare facilities. Participation is available to all U.S. facilities for 30-days. The program will give hospitals, long-term care, home healthcare and ambulatory care professionals unlimited access to several featured courses.

The goal of the pilot is to allow healthcare professionals who participate to see how effective online learning can be for increasing retention that leads to improved patient and staff safety.

Self-paced courses are delivered via Coastal's ClarityNet® HD. This award-winning and user-friendly e-learning courseware brings training to life with clear widescreen video. It delivers courses that incorporate instructional design elements, superb audio and high-quality graphics - all designed to increase retention. Toggle exercises, click-and-drag, multiple-choice questions and self-checks ensure mastery of the subject matter. With 30 storyboard template styles and 6 different "skins," ClarityNet® HD features interactive, customizable content that can meet a facility's specific training needs.

The Coastal eLearning System is equipped with a centralized Learning Management System (LMS) to control, assess and document progress. It tracks user data automatically, generates a variety of reports, and helps measure training outcomes through built-in pre- and post-training assessments. The LMS allows delivery at different bandwidths and provides 24/7 courseware access from any Internet browser.

Thousands of facilities are successfully using the Coastal eLearning System and the ClarityNet® HD online courseware to improve their employee training programs with measurable results.
