Ballad Health’s rollout of Microsoft Teams as our systemwide communications platform took place March 29.
Transitioning away from other platforms, such as Webex and Skype, to a single platform through Microsoft Teams will provide a more satisfying and unified instant messaging and virtual meeting experience for team members, without the need to learn how to use multiple platforms.
To help users get accustomed to Microsoft Teams, a series of one-hour training sessions are offered, with classes scheduled through Thursday, April 14.
- The one-hour training sessions provide team members with beginner-level information on how to get the most out of the chat and meeting functions of MS Teams.
- You can enroll in these sessions in HealthStream by searching for “Microsoft Teams Chat and Meetings (Level 100)” under the Event Calendar Tab. (NOTE: Classes on Tuesday night, April 5, are canceled.)
- To help make the most of the new tool, tip sheets and training videos can be found on the Ballad Health intranet by clicking here. (NOTE: You must be on a Ballad Health network device to access the intranet.)
