HCAC Fundamentals Online

	The Home Care Association of Colorado and Central Colorado AHEC present
	An instructor-led On-line learning Course "Fundamentals in Home Health" For professionals transitioning into home health or those who desire a refresher course in home health.
	Fundamentals in Home Health is an on-line learning course that has been written, designed and developed by home health nurses, will be facilitated by a home health nurse, and is sure to complement and enhance your home health agency’s orientation process. Divided into three dynamic modules – Historical Influences on Home Health Nursing... Information Before Making a Home Visit... Information for Conducting a Home Visit..., Fundamentals in Home Health will provide the home health professional with tools to use in planning a home health care visit. The course will provide a basic foundation to meet the criteria of a “generalist” as described in “A Statement on the Scope of Home Health Nursing Practice” published by the American Nurses Association, Council of Community Health Nurses. Actual case scenarios are used throughout the course to challenge critical thinking in preparing the health professional for his or her work in home health. Each unit contains objectives, a self test, content and assignments to be read with responses posted to the discussion board. The course is designed to work in conjunction with the home care agency to transition professional staff with experience in other settings into the home health environment. The course is also effective for agency staff who desire a refresher in home health nursing. The course is expected to take 6-8 weeks to complete and can be paced at the student’s convenience. To participate, the home care agency must: · Assign an on-site preceptor (mentor) who will assist the student in accessing required agency materials and sign off on the student competencies; · Provide on-site computer technical support, and · Make available text books, policies and procedures, home health care reference books and articles. The Student and Preceptor must have competency in word processing; e-mail (sending and accessing attachments); conducting world-wide-web search; use of discussion groups; use of online quiz and exam tools; and the ability to upload and download documents. Students will be required to complete the Web CT Orientation at the Web CT Student Orientation Center. You may register and start the course at any time! “I enrolled two students in HCAC’s ‘Fundamentals of Home Health’ on-line course.
