MedTrainer, an award-winning provider of training, compliance and credentialing software, has updated its platform to help long-term care facilities more easily meet safety and quality compliance requirements from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The platform now includes tools to conduct infection prevention risk assessments and online training for emergency preparedness; ensuring a safe environment; identifying and reporting abuse, neglect and exploitation; and more.
MedTrainer’s compliance learning management solution provides a variety of resources and documentation tools to avoid issues that often lead to findings by surveyors that result in deficiencies and serious consequences related to findings of immediate jeopardy. The goal is to save providers time and resources by consolidating training requirements and documentation in one platform.
“We’re seeing a growing need in long-term and skilled care facilities to find a balance between the administrative demands of compliance and patient care,” said MedTrainer COO Jorge Fernandez. “We strive to bring organizations greater efficiency in training and compliance management that ultimately results in more time and improved quality care for patients.”
Courses dedicated to CMS requirements include:
- Training on the CMS Final Rules for life safety and emergency preparedness requirements.
- Identifying cognitive changes, including the signs of Alzheimer’s and dementia, from early to late stages.
- General guidelines for compliance and administering hospice and end-of-life care that ensure patients understand their rights and options.
- Learning how to go beyond advanced directives into care goals, with a focus on engaging the patient in care decisions to preserve the dignity and wishes of the patient.
- Preventing and identifying intentional infliction of harm.
