Tampa, FL (PRWEB) March 19, 2013
Care2Learn, the leading provider of online education, compliance training and record-keeping for the senior care industry, announced that it is launching its new Rapid Review Series (http://bit.ly/RapidC2L) of online courses to demonstrate assessment and procedural techniques. The Rapid Review Series is a comprehensive set of more than 20 online training courses that a DON or nurse supervisor can use to ensure that their nurses are proficient in the assessment and procedural techniques needed to prevent rehospitalization. The series is appropriate for any acute or post-acute care organization – skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, and home health & hospice.
“It’s not enough to train your nurses on the diseases that are most commonly associated with rehospitalization; they have to be able to perform the proper assessment to quickly identify changes in condition eliminating the need for a return to the hospital,” noted Cheryl Swann, RN-BC, BSN, WCC, LNHA, VP of Clinical Services at Care2Learn. “Care2Learn’s Rapid Review Series gives your DON the tools to determine the nurses’ skill sets while instilling confidence in the nurses that they can provide higher acuity care.”
Care2Learn’s Rapid Review Series (http://bit.ly/RapidC2L) complements the Care2Learn Rehospitalization Series (http://bit.ly/C2LRehosp) to ensure that nurses can in fact assess and implement procedures that would be necessary to prevent rehospitalization. Each course uses multimedia audio, video and are mobile accessible through the Care2Learn iPad® and Android Apps, and has an accompanying competency for the supervisor to use to verify that the nurse can perform the procedure correctly.
A sample of course titles includes:
“Ultimately, a physician needs to know that when he’s telling the nurse what procedure to implement, he has to feel confident that the nurse can do it,” noted Jennifer Moore, RN, Care2Learn’s Clinical Content Developer. “If he’s not confident, he’s going to recommend a return to the hospital and then there goes everything your organization is working toward to reduce rehospitalization.”
