| Jericho, NY (November 14, 2007) – Health Care Compliance Strategies, Inc. (HCCS) announced today that it will celebrate National Health Care Compliance Training Week, November 26th through December 2nd by providing unlimited access to infection control training and a special expert webinar on Joint Commission readiness. National Health Care Compliance Training Week is a week long celebration focusing on the importance of compliance training in assisting healthcare organizations to meet their mission of high quality patient care.
During the week, organizations will have the ability to participate in two special events. The first event is unlimited access to the HCCS Infection Control online training course. With the spread of the Super Bug and concern over Hospital Acquired Conditions (HAC), infection control training is the most important patient safety program a facility will run this year. This interactive, multimedia course is designed for all staff members and covers the transmission of infectious organisms, Joint Commission-mandated risk-reducing standards, standard precautions and several other topics vital to infection control. The second event is a complimentary Webinar titled “Practical Strategies for Continuous Joint Commission Survey Readiness.” The Webinar will be presented by Glenn Krasker, CEO and President of Critical Management Solutions and former Director of The Joint Commission. This Webinar will provide expert guidance and practical tools to excel under the new rules of engagement of The Joint Commission. Participants can register for both events at www.hccs.com/freeweek07.
“Compliance training is vital to any healthcare organization. That is why we began this event four years ago. It brings awareness to the importance of compliance training and gives healthcare professionals the opportunity to see that training can be interactive and engaging,” says Ben Diamond, President of HCCS. “We encourage every organization to enroll for these special events,” says Mr. Diamond. “Administrators and staff members alike can benefit from training in these important areas.”
Any administrator employed with a healthcare provider, health plan, pharmaceutical company or other healthcare institution with compliance or staff education responsibility may enroll their staff for access to these events. Participation in National Health Care Compliance Training Week is complimentary and there is no obligation.
