It's in the mail ... educating the home health aide.
Compliance with the education regulations for the home health aide has always been a challenge; however, it can now border on the impossible. This article describes the "Monthly Mailer" that not only brought timely and interesting education materials to the busy home health aide, but also kept the agency in compliance with all local and Federal regulations. The success of the program translated into better communication with the RN staff and gave nurses an opportunity to earn inservice credit as authors of the monthly offerings.
