Project Overview
The UW Oshkosh Center for Career Development (CCDET) has expanded the Caregiver Project’s focus on abuse/neglect prevention by adding three new training modules on required continuing education topics. New topics for 2013 include Resident Rights, Standard Precautions: A Focus on Hand Hygiene and Fire Safety.
CCDET continues to partner with the Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) to offer a limited number of workshops in April and May 2013 at a cost partially subsidized by the Division. There is no limit of participants per agency. These workshops include:
Continuing Education for Caregivers
This full-day train-the-trainer workshop combines the former Topical Training for Trainers and Experiential DVD Training for Trainers, and introduces participants to three new one-hour classroom-style topics: Resident Rights, Standard Precautions: A Focus on Hand Hygiene and Fire Safety.
The workshop introduces participants to almost 30 hours of Caregiver Project training materials designed to prevent abuse and neglect, increase quality of care and meet continuing education requirements for caregivers in long-term care. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to train direct caregivers and other staff in their own facilities.
NOTE: This workshop is approved by DQA to meet adult learning requirements for CBRF instructors of department-approved topics.
Fee: $110.00 (includes a light lunch)
Investigating and Reporting Allegations of Misconduct
Two versions of this 4-hour class are available; for non-nursing home facilities and for nursing home facilities. This class will help participants identify the key components of conducting internal investigations into allegations of abuse/neglect and misappropriation.
Fee: $70.00
