Methods To Deploy Training
- In-Service Education. Use the content as part of monthly in-service training. Consider engaging the staff by assigning a section to each person and having them teach their peers. The educator can be present to clarify points or answer questions.
- Self-Guided Learning.
- If you have a learning management system (LMS), the video and discussion guide can be added to your LMS and either assigned to staff (if mandatory) or made available to staff (if elective).
- If you do not have an LMS, the slides sets and notes can be printed and placed in a binder with the discussion guide. Staff can review the contents of the binder and then complete the discussion guide. The discussion guide can be graded either by the educator or individual staff person.
- New Employee Orientation. These materials can be used to supplement your infection prevention orientation curriculum. The content is evidence based and customizable to your setting. Consider customizing it with your facility policy and procedure, and documentation forms.
- Skills Updates or Competency Testing. Use the materials as part of competency testing of staff. Competency testing can be done in a controlled environment such as a skills lab or can be accomplished in the work environment using peer observation.
