Tampa, FL, October 16, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Essential preparations and precautions for healthcare staff based on up-to-date info from the CDC and Department of Health.
Care2Learn, Inc., the leader in online continuing education and training for post-acute healthcare providers, has released two new online learning courses in response to the rapid spread of the H1N1 virus. The courses detail the latest authoritative guidelines from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Department of Health, and give post-acute healthcare providers an easy, cost-effective way to disseminate priceless information in a convenient format.
Workers at all levels need to be properly educated on the latest guidance for identifying flu symptoms and using personal protective equipment to prevent its spread to coworkers and other patients or residents. However, as the specter of an H1N1 pandemic continues to evolve in different demographic areas, most of the information about safe practices is cobbled together hurriedly and a bit at a time as news is breaking.
“The static web pages and printed bulletins we’re used to seeing are, perhaps, inevitable when a large amount of information needs to be distributed among a diverse population quickly,” says Ryan Sparks, Vice President of Content for Care2Learn. “However, those formats are not conducive to learning – let alone sufficient to train the broad spectrum of workers who staff healthcare facilities or provide home care. What we’ve done is create two courses that combine continuity with interactivities and assessments to ensure students are engaged and have absorbed the information.”
The first course, “H1N1 Influenza in Post-Acute Settings,” is targeted to non-licensed healthcare professionals and volunteers and features audio narration to help accommodate all learning levels. The second course, “Influenza: Seasonal, Avian, and Novel H1N1” prepares licensed healthcare professionals and healthcare management to recognize and react strategically to an influenza pandemic. Minimizing impact and developing effective coping mechanisms are emphasized.
