Train staff to identify essential age-specific competencies and how to implement them in their daily work duties for $3 per person!
Providing age-specific care can be a challenge under the best of conditions. This handbook offers clear explanations of various age groups and important clinical considerations for each, with emphasis on safe and appropriate care delivery throughout the life span. Guidelines to help your staff meet JCAHO requirements and case scenarios are also included to enhance staff training and education.
The demonstration and documentation of age-specific competency is important for several reasons. It validates the knowledge and skills of staff. Staff competency contributes to the quality of patient and family services. The JCAHO mandates age-specific competency education and assessment on an ongoing basis, and requires that the findings of such assessments are documented and maintained.
