Scalable transfer of specialist knowledge about surgical coordination
Surgimate develops technology for organising and streamlining surgical coordination. The software connects, among other things, surgeons, schedulers, and operational information within one workflow. From that daily practice, Surgimate has a lot of specialist knowledge about the work of surgical coordinators.
That role is multifaceted. Surgical coordinators switch between patients, surgeons, surgical planning, administrative processes, and internal teams. Therefore, their work is not only about systems and procedures, but also about communication, setting priorities, and preventing unnecessary disruptions in the process.
Surgimate wanted to translate this expertise into a professional online learning programme that allows surgical coordinators to further develop their knowledge and skills. The challenge for Maxcademy was to convert a broad and content-specific subject into a learning experience that is clear, varied and immediately recognisable to the target audience.
A multi-part learning programme for daily practice
Clear learning path
A broad field of expertise is divided into clear modules, each with a concrete theme and its own learning objectives.
Recognisable scenarios
Practical situations allow participants to practice choices, communication and common challenges in surgical coordination.
Multimedia and reflection
Animation, visual explanations, interactive elements and reflection tasks provide variety and active processing.
From subject expertise to a logical learning path
Maxcademy helped Surgimate to structure the content expertise into a coherent learning programme. This involved not only looking at which information is important, but especially at what a surgical coordinator must recognise, understand and be able to apply in practice.
The programme addresses various aspects of the profession. Think of professional communication with patients, dealing with surgeons' preferences, administrative and insurance processes, organising documentation, preventing and following up on cancellations and reschedules, and attention to personal effectiveness and sustainable employability.
By developing each topic as an independent learning component, the content remains manageable. At the same time, the whole forms a continuous development route for professionals who wish to further strengthen their role.
Learning through scenarios, animation and practical reflection
The modules are deliberately not structured as long digital manuals. Maxcademy combines various learning formats to keep participants actively engaged with the content.
Animation and visual explanations introduce new topics. Interactive scenarios then give participants the opportunity to make choices in recognisable work situations. Flip cards, dropdowns and other interactive components help to process information step by step, while reflection tasks and worksheets invite participants to connect the content to their own practice.
The variation is important for a target group that works in the midst of a busy operational process. The learning experience must provide sufficient depth, but also remain clear and feel immediately usable .
About Surgimate
Surgimate develops software for surgical coordination and supports medical practices in organising the entire pre-surgery workflow. The platform brings together planning, teams and operational information and helps organisations to make processes more consistent and clearer .
The global headquarters of Surgimate is located in Dallas, Texas. From the combination of technology and in-depth practical knowledge, the organisation focuses on a more efficient and better connected surgical workflow.
A scalable learning programme that converts expertise into applicable knowledge
The result is a comprehensive digital learning programme in which specialist knowledge about surgical coordination is made accessible and practical for the target group.
The learning solution:
- divides a broad and complex field into clear, independent modules;
- connects subject matter with recognisable situations from daily practice;
- combines animation, scenarios, interactive components and reflection;
- supports both subject matter and communicative and organisational skills;
- makes specialist expertise from Surgimate scalable as an online learning experience;
- provides a consistent basis for further expansion of the training programme.
For Maxcademy, the collaboration with Surgimate shows how an organisation with a lot of specialist expertise can convert that knowledge into high-quality customised e-learning for a professional audience.
Frequently asked questions
Maxcademy developed, together with Surgimate, a multi-part e-learning programme for surgical coordinators. The programme addresses various professional themes within surgical coordination and combines Learning Design, animation, interactive scenarios, reflection, and other digital forms of work.
Maxcademy starts by structuring the expertise around concrete learning objectives and practical situations. Then, for each topic, it is determined which form of work is most suitable, for example, animation, scenarios, visual explanations, reflection, or interactive knowledge processing.
The programme addresses various aspects of surgical coordination, including professional communication, workflow and documentation, surgeon preferences, administrative processes, cancellations and rescheduling, and personal effectiveness within the role.
Yes. The Surgimate case shows how Maxcademy can structure a broad knowledge domain into a coherent programme with multiple modules and learning formats. In doing so, Learning Design, content development, multimedia and interactive e-learning can be executed as a whole.
