Elsevier, a provider of healthcare products and services, released an online, continuing education course for home healthcare organization nurses and therapists.
Here are five key notes:
1. The course is called Mosby's Orientation to Home Healthcare, and includes evidence-based content.
2. Home healthcare continues to grow in popularity due to an aging population seeking cheaper healthcare services.
3. The course, peer reviewed by expert home healthcare nurse and therapists, addresses how to offer effective home treatment and care.
4. There are 24 interactive online lessons, each timed at one hour.
5. This online course complements Elsevier's Mosby's Home Health Care, a resource for home healthcare nurses, managers and educators providing medication monographs, patient education hand-outs and laboratory testing information among other topics.
"As home healthcare expands, the healthcare professionals serving these patients need comprehensive education and training on current procedures, technology, medications, quality initiatives and safety," said Cindy Tryniszewski, RN, MSN, Elsevier's executive director of clinical eLearning.
