Mandatory Training Modules
Now more than ever, an effective, facility-wide compliance program requires both knowing the rules and adhering to them. Ineffective or inconsistent training initiatives can result in costly fines, penalties and loss of accreditation.
Recognizing that compliance training is mandatory for all healthcare workers, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Professional Learning Solutions has developed an innovative suite of mandatory modules that are comprehensive, up-to-date, and tailored to meet the diverse needs of your entire staff.
From the strict annual training requirements of JCAHO, OSHA, the FDA, and the CDC, to MSDS communications on hazardous materials, emergency preparedness, and patient safety, the mandatory modules within this suite are sure to meet today's stringent compliance training criteria.
