Compliance education is a critical part of healthcare staff training to improve quality of care, boost staff knowledge and resilience, and reduce risk for the organization. MedBridge compliance courses align with applicable laws and regulations and include oversight by relevant healthcare consultants.
In this article, you will find a list of MedBridge courses that can be assigned to your staff to meet federal compliance training requirements in the home health setting. All these courses can be assigned to your staff via a Knowledge Track, and you can track completion. This track can be customized to fit your needs, including adding or removing MedBridge courses or your agency’s custom content.
To add these courses to a Knowledge Track, start building a new Knowledge Track and search for the name of each course. For more information about building Knowledge Tracks, check out Getting Started With the MedBridge LMS.
Please see the MedBridge compliance catalog for other relevant courses, such as ones that cover state-specific topics.
If your organization is ACHC or CHAP certified, please refer to the following articles for course recommendations in alignment with ACHC and CHAP orientation standards:
