  The Kansas Home Care & Hospice Association is pleased to bring you this educational program through an agreement with the Association for Home & Hospice Care of North Carolina…

  
  

  Description:  For years, AHHC of NC has published the Partners In Quality Care newsletter for in-home aides. This popular publication includes an informative newsletter, post-test, answer key and certificate. It is designed for one hour of educational credit that includes: 1. Review of Objectives; 2. Reading of educational material from the Partners in Care Newsletter; and, 3. Satisfactory completion of a test. The monthly newsletter serves as an adjunct to satisfy your CMS requirement within the Medicare Conditions of Participation, and the newsletter topics are timely, relevant to home care and can help enrich your in-home aides’ knowledge base.
  
  

  Feedback from KHCHA subscribers:

  • We find these newsletters very insightful and relevant for our home health aides and homemakers.
    
    
  • I'd like to renew - this format worked beautifully to keep our HHA up to speed, and our JCAHO surveyor was very happy with the documentation of the training. Thanks!
    
    

  • Just want to let you know that our employees love this format of education. They even comment on how informative the materials are and how much they enjoy the topics. We really appreciate that KHCHA provides this program at such a reasonable cost.
    
    

  • This training series was well received by our last JCAHO surveyor--it definitely serves the purpose very well!

  Kansas is closed: How did your team manage?  

  During this roundtable, we would like to share wins and things learned during our Kansas blizzard. We will review an after action report and things you might want to consider adding to yours. If you don't know what that is, we can help with that as well! For those that have had a recent survey and have tidbits to offer about emergency preparedness plans, those ideas are welcome as well.  

  I hope to see you on the 20th!
