SAMPLE COURSE CROSSWALK TO CALIFORNIA HOME HEALTH AGENCIES Updated December 206 Relias Learning offers online learning, staff compliance training and continuing education for post-acute care facilities (Assisted Living, Long-term Care, Skilled Nursing, Home Health, and Rehabilitation organizations). Relias Learning Crosswalks are based on published accreditation standards. They are designed to assist organizations in the selection of courses from the Relias Learning libraries to ensure and demonstrate staff competence according to the training standards. General staff compliance trainings should be selected to ensure the organization meets OSHA and other regulatory requirements. Staff training is only one element of a successful survey and the crosswalks are not meant to take the place of a careful review and evaluation of your program to the accreditation standards. The courses listed in the crosswalk are a representative sample of courses available in Relias Learning libraries. It may not be necessary to choose all courses listed for a specific training standard; it is recommended that courses are chosen that closely align with the mission and services offered and the specific needs of the persons served. The following constitutes Relias Learning, LLC s recommendation of course work for each listed Crosswalk Measure. Relias Learning does not make any guarantee that such course(s) will be accepted by the accrediting body(ies). 2
