Menu The Orbis Solution Addressing the Deficit in Healthcare Video Player /wp-content/uploads/Orbis_Solution_Bridging_the_Gap.mp4 00:00 04:20 The healthcare industry is suffering from a shortage of practitioners in nearly every aspect of patient care. At Orbis, we work to solve this problem by partnering educational institutions with healthcare providers—linking supply and demand. The Orbis Solution bridges the gap in the workforce shortage to provide a better future for healthcare. LEARN MORE The Problem Demand for Care The demand for healthcare professionals is urgent, partly due to aging baby boomers. Without a solution, thousands of healthcare jobs, most notably nurses, will remain unfilled creating a serious healthcare crisis for our country. Retiring Workforce Among those aging baby boomers are healthcare workers about to retire. This retirement wave will leave hospitals and other facilities in jeopardy and create a shortage of nursing educators to train the workforce of tomorrow. University Resources Between budget cuts, a lack of healthcare educators, and an insufficient amount of clinical site and classrooms, many universities are forced to turn away qualified applicants, adding to the looming healthcare crisis. Our Solution Our solution to fulfill the demand for more healthcare professionals is simple: create pre-licensure programs for universities so they can educate a pipeline of qualified employees ready for hire. Our learning model includes online, lab, and clinical placements with our healthcare partners. This model is designed to give students more educational access, expand pre-licensure healthcare programs and prepare a pipeline of professionals ready to take on the challenges of the healthcare industry. Linking Supply and Demand Collaborative Partnerships Orbis Education offers university partners an unparalleled service that enables them to increase enrollments and achieve their financial, academic, and graduation goals. In addition, we provide our healthcare partners a seat at the academic table and the opportunity to influence the education of the next generation of healthcare workers. Online Education We turn your existing curriculum into an online format, providing a level of convenience to a student’s learning process. Not being tied to a specific classroom schedule or location means students have flexibility to study at any time of the day or night. Off-Campus Learning Centers Orbis Education builds, manages, and operates off-campus learning centers where students can practice clinical skills in a safe lab setting, engage in collaborative learning activities, and take exams in a proctored, secure testing environment. Brand Standards We customize each program to match our academic partner’s standards, not Orbis’s.
