INTRODUCTION

 Mandated training in addition to competency evaluation requirements for adult care home medication aides. As a response to the legislation,  Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Health Service Regulation, has developed the required 6-hour  training courses that include instruction in the key principles of medication administration and infection prevention.

 Each training course includes an instructor manual, materials for a student manual and a certificate template required for participants who successfully complete the course(s).

Course Description

  • The 6-hour training course was built around the current skills checklist required for medication staff in adult care homes. The majority of the 6-hour course schedule centers around time spent for instruction and validation of skills required for medication administration. Individuals are expected to pass the clinical skills tasks with 100% competency demonstrated.
