Saba (NASDAQ:SABA), the premier People Cloud provider, today announced that leading pediatric healthcare system Nemours, is using Saba People Cloud Applications to accelerate enterprise-wide learning and compliance with its Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system. Using Saba's Learning Management System (LMS), delivered through the Saba People Cloud, Nemours is providing access to the critical training necessary to maintain high employee performance and safety.

Nemours' robust EMR system, Epic, is used by more than 3,600 employees on a daily basis; compliance requires that each employee also complete training annually. Using the Saba People Cloud's scalable and interactive Web-based training, Nemours is able to meet rising demand by its 4,800 employees for more flexible training. Standardized governance and ongoing course development has also accelerated the adoption of EMR technologies and as a result has improved clinical use of the EMR and enabled Nemours to be more agile and responsive to market demands.
