Knowledge Now courses are designed for quick, in-the-moment learning—but how you use them can make all the difference. 

When There’s No Time to Hit Pause—Training Has to Move With You, and our Knowledge Nows can do just that! 

You’re juggling staffing gaps, responding to family concerns, managing compliance tasks—and that’s all before lunch. In today’s care environments, managers are expected to lead, coach, and ensure quality outcomes without stopping the flow of daily operations. The challenge? Traditional training models often require time you don’t have and delay learning until it’s too late to make a difference. 

That’s why Knowledge Nows were created. These bite-sized, on-demand video clips give your team the training they need—right when they need it. Whether it’s a refresher before a shift, a quick lesson during a huddle, or a targeted response after a safety event, Knowledge Nows help you turn everyday moments into teachable ones—without adding more to your plate. 

If you’re looking for a tool that supports better performance and smarter team development—without slowing anything down—this is it. 

Equip Staff with On-Demand Learning 

In the fast-paced environment of healthcare, where time is short and quality care is non-negotiable, managers need tools that support staff development without disrupting workflow. That’s where Knowledge Nows come in. These short, focused microlearning videos from Healthcare Academy are designed for today’s healthcare settings—skilled nursing, assisted living, home health, and beyond. Each clip delivers practical instruction in under five minutes, helping staff perform with confidence and accuracy in real-world situations. As a manager, you can integrate Knowledge Nows into your daily operations to reinforce skills, address performance gaps, and support regulatory readiness—without adding extra hours to the schedule.
