In-Home Quality Campaign
The goal of the In-Home Quality Campaign is two-fold:
- increase the knowledge of aides working for in-home agencies
- decrease the number of non-emergency trips by clients to emergency rooms and hospitals
The training materials were initially part of a national campaign for Home Health agencies and have been modified for use by Missouri In-Home Providers. As new modules are completed, they will be added to this webpage.
There are modules for in-home aides and for in-home nurses. Each module contains teaching points, links, and a post-test.
Several of the modules include links to audio and video educational pieces. In some cases, those links are part of the national campaign and in order to access them, you must follow the directions below. Signing up and accessing the links is entirely voluntary on your part.
Accessing audio and video links:
To link to the additional training materials indicated in the modules, In-Home Providers will need to contact the Home Health Quality Improvement Campaign and request a special code. This code will allow the Provider’s employees access to the additional training materials. (Even if the Provider is also a Home Health Provider, you should request the special code to use for In-Home staff.)
- Send an email to: HHQI@wvmi.org
- In the subject line put: Missouri In-Home Agency – Special Code
- In the message put: “We are not a Home Health Agency, but do provide in-home services. Please provide us with a special code.”
- You will receive your code by email.
- When you are ready to listen to or view one of the links, go to the website (http://www.homehealthquality.org), log in at the top of the page.
- Follow the instructions in the various training modules to find the appropriate link.
- If you have any difficulties, please contact 1-800-309-3282, the Missouri Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program.
