Training, Competencies and Staff Development (On-Demand)

Registration Closed

A common theme throughout all phases of Requirements of Participation (RoP) implementation has been the need for competent staff. The changes in the RoP have emphasized training across disciplines. Is your staff development department or person ready? If you don’t have a designated staff development department or person, now what? Have competencies been developed to ensure your staff can care for the resident’s needs as identified in the facility assessment? When you admit a resident are you sure your staff is competent? This webinar will assist your facility in developing a process to prepare and implement the various training requirements of the RoP.

OBJECTIVES:

Understand the relationship between the facility assessment and training needs
Understand the regulatory changes required related to training needs and development of competencies
