Emergency Preparedness Training

 

CHC has produced three new training programs specifically designed for home health aides, other paraprofessionals and community volunteers responding to pandemic flu and other terrorism, bioterrorism or natural disaster emergencies. All are available at no charge following registration. Participation in all three programs is strongly encouraged, as each one covers different aspects of response and will give participants a comprehensive understanding of the roles of each group in emergency situations. These programs have been made possible by a grant from the New York State Department of Health and the Health Resources Services Administration.

 

The best way to access all three programs is through streaming video broadcast over the Internet by the Home Care Information Network. These programs are available around the clock and are accessible from any computer with a high speed Internet connection. When you use HCIN to view these programs, you will be able to take both your pre- and post-tests online and you can print your completion certificates as soon as you finish a program.

 

 

With HCIN’s easy-to-use interface, viewing a seminar over the Internet couldn’t be simpler. and no special software is needed. Audio, video, slides and handouts are all at your fingertips.

Viewing Your Programs

 

Each of the training programs includes an introduction and a presentation. Begin by clicking on the link to the audio introduction and when you are done, click on the pre-test button. This will open an evaluation screen. Scroll to the bottom and click on “submit” to skip over the evaluation and go directly to your pre-test. Complete this test and then watch the training presentation. At the end of the presentation you will need to complete and pass a post-test in order to create a completion certificate. You can view and print your program completion certificates by returning to your catalog and selecting “certificates” from the menu on the left side of the page

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Troubleshooting

 

Very few viewers experience problems accessing an HCIN seminar. If for some reason the video and audio do not start or do not run smoothly on your computer, there are several step you can take to correct the problems you may be experiencing.

 

·         If the video does not start at all, make certain that your network firewall permits access to video streamed content. If you have access to technical staff, please check with them.

·         If the video starts but does not run smoothly or the audio breaks up, you are most likely using an old version of Windows Media Player. You can upgrade for free by going to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download.

·         If you are using a pop-up blocker and can not access the video stream, please turn the blocker off.
