  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.

  
  

  
  

  Comments from KHCHA members opting to renew their subscription:

  • 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!
