Getinge AB

Scaling Global Clinical Training with Compliance, Precision, and Performance

The Challenge

Getinge is a global medical technology company serving hospitals and healthcare providers worldwide. Their training audience includes nurses, hospital administrators, product managers, and sales professionals across multiple regions.

They needed a scalable extended-enterprise LMS that could:

  • Deliver product-specific clinical training, including flagship technologies like NAVA (Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist)
  • Support continuing education (CE) workflows with auditable certificates
  • Combine SCORM eLearning and live webinars into structured programs with prerequisites
  • Enforce regional content controls (EU-only vs. US-only distribution)
  • Handle predictable annual surge events during Respiratory Care Week
  • Maintain a polished, global, brand-aligned learner experience

Their prior environment struggled with catalog flexibility, CE workflows, and surge reliability.

The Solution

KMI implemented and continuously modernized Getinge’s global LMS over an 11-year partnership.

  1. Product-Focused Training Experiences
    • Instead of forcing learners through a generic catalog, KMI delivered:
      • Custom landing pages aligned with Getinge’s brand standards
      • Curated product-specific training hubs
      • Structured learning paths tied to equipment lines
    • This allowed marketing and product teams to spotlight priority offerings while making discovery intuitive for clinical learners.
  2. Continuing Education & Certification Management
    • For a clinical audience, CE documentation is mission-critical.KMI enabled:
      • CE course identification and tracking
      • Automated certificate generation with dynamic fields
      • Configurable expiration rules
      • Administrative reporting for audit readiness
    • Since implementation, certificate output has grown from 14,231 annually (2016) to a peak of 36,697 (2023) — a 2.58× increase.
  3. Multimodal Program Delivery
    • Getinge’s training includes both online modules and live instruction.KMI structured:
      • SCORM 2004 eLearning delivery
      • Webinar and event management (Webex, AttendNow integrations)
      • Registration, rosters, attendance tracking
      • Prerequisite logic tying online completion to live participation
    • This created cohesive learning programs rather than disconnected training events.
  4. Global Compliance & Regional Controls
    • Because Getinge operates globally, content distribution must comply with regional regulatory requirements.KMI implemented:
      • Region-specific access controls (EU vs. US availability)
      • Rapid response workflows for FDA-driven updates
      • Custom account creation processes capturing regional metadata
    • This compliance agility protects both brand reputation and regulatory standing.
  5. Reliable Scale During Surge Events
    • Normal activity averages ~3,200 active users per month.During Respiratory Care Week, demand surges dramatically:
      • 10,000+ learners in a short window
      • 1,000–2,000 daily logins
      • 100–200 concurrent users at peak
      • Dozens of webinars in a single week
    • KMI’s infrastructure reliably supports these predictable spikes without service disruption.
