OUR VISION AND MISSION
YOUR READINESS IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Vision
Seamless, efficient competency management for your entire workforce.
Mission
To provide healthcare organizations with competency management solutions, evidence-based tools, and unparalleled support.
The Problem We Solve
Hospital onboarding (competency management) is often complex, duplicative, expensive, and rigid. Large platforms rely on standardized content, per-user pricing, and costly customization—forcing hospitals to adapt their processes to the system rather than the system adapting to them. This results in unnecessary administrative burden, duplicate documentation for accreditors, and escalating costs as organizations scale.
Our Solution: Nurse Development Resources
Galen Center for Professional Development delivers fully customized competency management within an intuitive online platform that integrates seamlessly with your existing hospital infrastructure.
Our platform enables hospitals to:
•Customize onboarding and annual competencies to organizational, clinical, and regulatory requirements
•Link directly to internal resources and external content (e.g., Mosby’s, Lippincott, HealthStream)
•Support accreditation requirements and advanced achievements such as Magnet® designation—without redundant documentation

Mercy Hospitals of Bakersfield
GCPD has provided our organization a platform to perform real time documentation on the transition nurse. Mercy Hospital of Bakersfield was using the orientation check sheet for tracking purposes of a new orientee. This documentation was unable to accurately paint a picture of a new orientee’s transition into acute care nursing. GCPD is currently providing SAH system an objective view of the transition nurse. GCPD also provides the software platform for communication with leadership, all preceptors, and the orientee as they navigate their way to being a safe practicing nurse

Our organization is captivated by how easy the Nurse Development Resources electronic platform (Engage) is to navigate. This tool supports me in my Internal Driver role to promote standardization and accountability with nurse leaders, preceptors and RN’s assigned to use system. The design provides a transparency that allows me to easily track RN progress and quickly identify areas that need immediate attention.

Our organization was searching for a new platform to document in real time the progress of our onboarding program for nurses. The Engage platform offered us the ability to tailor the orientation process to each staff member but maintain the integrity of the program. The GCPD staff provided incredible support during our transition process.
The team at GCPD also facilitated our creation of a platform that met our needs as a diverse organization.

Galen has provided an evidence-based tool that has enhanced our orientation process for nurses. Having this has allowed for open communication for all involved while being a platform to promote positive conversations during the transition period. The modules have been very well received! We have an 8-hour day, and nurses verbalized they are interactive and engaging to do. GCPD has transformed the method by which we assess competency in our organization. We have successfully transitioned from paper “skills checklists” to true competency assessment and documentation. Our users are so pleased with the ease of function, site accessibility, and support of the GCPD platform.
