Hospice Aide On-The-Go In-services Series, Volume 2, Issue 1: Falls Prevention

Every year, hospice aides must satisfy 12 hours of in-service training. Beacon Health’s new “Hospice Aide On-the-Go™ In-service,” Volume 2, delivers the training they need. Each lesson focuses on care for the terminally ill hospice patient.

Developed from our widely popular series for home health, this new collection of lessons for hospice aides provides authoritative, comprehensive, yet easy-to-understand training for self-study or the classroom.

Simply copy the pages from each lesson as needed—the only restriction is that aides receiving training must work from your office location. Each lesson provides one-hour of study on a hospice specific topic. This 12-lesson volume fulfills one year of Medicare’s annual requirement of 12 in-service hours.

Each lesson includes:

• A clearly written fact sheet about a timely, hospice-specific topic
• A 10-question post-test to measure understanding of the subject matter
• An answer sheet with a place for the instructor’s comments and signature
• An illustrative, hospice-specific case study
• Suggested supplemental learning activities
• An attendance log and certificate of completion

A convenient storage binder is included with your purchase.
