We have been asking our members from across the industries the reasons why they became a CPD provider. This CPD Member case study was provided by CIMA Care. For more information, please visit their CPD Member Directory page.
Please provide us with a brief overview of your organisation. What do you do?
CIMA Care GmbH is a global health organisation headquartered in Linz, Austria, operating a digital health platform that supports vaccination delivery and healthcare education. Our dual-platform approach combines vaccination tracking and management with our Health Academy, an online educational platform specialising in vaccination and public health training. We directly support UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 and WHO's Big Catch-Up initiative, operating across the globe. We bridge the gap between clinical practice and public health expertise, providing healthcare professionals with current knowledge and practical tools for improved immunisation outcomes.
Why did you become a CPD provider?
Our decision to pursue CPD accreditation stems from our commitment to delivering internationally recognised, evidence-based healthcare education that meets the highest professional standards. As global health educators serving across the globe, we recognised that CPD certification would provide essential quality assurance and credibility for our diverse international audience of healthcare professionals.
CPD accreditation aligns perfectly with our mission to support WHO global health initiatives and UN SDG 3 objectives. It ensures our comprehensive vaccination and public health training modules maintain rigorous academic standards while remaining accessible to frontline healthcare workers, policymakers, and researchers worldwide. The structured CPD framework enables us to demonstrate measurable learning outcomes and professional development impact across our growing global community of healthcare practitioners. Furthermore, CPD certification enhances our ability to support healthcare professionals' mandatory continuing education requirements across different jurisdictions, making our specialised immunisation training more valuable and applicable to their career advancement and regulatory compliance needs.
How did you implement CPD accreditation in your organisation?
We implemented CPD accreditation through our LMS, which features technical capabilities, including role-based access management, automated assessment engines, and comprehensive analytics infrastructure. Our implementation process involved:
1. Curriculum Development
We structured our courses with sequential content unlocking, multimedia integration (reading materials, interactive PowerPoint presentations, and video content), and rigorous knowledge-check quizzes with multiple-choice assessments and real-time scoring capabilities.
2. Assessment Framework
We developed automated certificate generation systems with digital verification, real-time progress tracking, and detailed completion rate analytics. This supports multiple content formats and provides comprehensive user engagement statistics.
3. Quality Assurance
We integrated CPD requirements into our white-label customisation capabilities, ensuring consistent delivery across our multi-language platform (English, German, Spanish, plus additional supported languages). Our courses underwent rigorous review processes, incorporating CPD feedback to enhance quiz complexity and provide video transcriptions for accessibility.
4. Technical Integration
We deployed mobile-responsive design, single-use code authentication systems, and automated user provisioning to ensure seamless global access while maintaining CPD compliance standards.
How has CPD helped your organisation achieve its learning objectives?
CPD accreditation has been instrumental in advancing our global health education mission and measurably enhancing our impact:
