STM publisher Elsevier has announced the availability of Mosby's Orientation to Home Health Care, a comprehensive online, continuing education course that helps home healthcare organisations prepare nurses and therapists to provide care to patients in their homes.
Mosby's Orientation to Home Health Care includes practical, evidence-based content for the rapidly expanding home health care specialty. The importance of home health care continues to grow as the aging population turns to less expensive health care options outside of the hospital and advances in technology enable effective home treatment and care. This course not only helps nurses and therapists who are new to the specialty, but it enhances the knowledge of experienced home health care professionals who may have relocated or joined a new agency.
Mosby's Orientation to Home Health Care streamlines orientation and can complement existing education programs for nurses and therapists. Additional features include: 24 interactive online lessons, each taking approximately one hour to complete; opportunity to earn continuing education credits; optional Knowledge Inventory Tool (KIT) that identifies and provides targeted education to fill knowledge gaps; resources that support teaching and learning, including a lesson assignment guide, a lesson outline notebook, and preceptor exercises; and special features that call attention to key facets of the lesson topic, including case studies, cultural considerations, and evidence in practice.
Mosby's Orientation to Home Health Care complements Elsevier's most recent contribution to the home health market, Mosby's Home Health Care, an authoritative resource for home health care nurses, managers, and educators providing medication monographs, patient education hand-outs, laboratory testing information, competency management, and descriptions of clinical skills.
