MedBridge Home Health and Hospice Courses Achieve CHAP Disease Program Verification

With growing numbers of high-acuity patients and continuing demand for new nurses and clinical staff, home health and hospice agencies need a trusted and reliable way to educate new staff quickly and efficiently on the most critical job-related skills.

That’s why MedBridge sought and acquired CHAP Disease Program verification for a wide selection of its evidence-based disease-specific courses. As of June 13th, 2024, dozens of MedBridge courses on topics such as heart failure, dementia, diabetes, COPD, stroke, and wound care are now verified by CHAP (Community Health Accreditation Partner).

CHAP-certified disease programs meet or exceed the evidence-based protocols set forth by CHAP’s Board of Physicians for providing exceptional care. These protocols are focused on areas such as provision of care, transition of care, self-management, infection prevention and control, performance improvement, and information management. A CHAP Disease Program certification demonstrates an organization’s commitment to the highest standards of quality for customers and patients.

“MedBridge’s CHAP-verified programs excel in providing multidisciplinary, disease-specific education tailored for nurses and therapists,” said Teresa Harbour, Chief Operating Officer at CHAP. “From foundational knowledge about disease processes to advanced care techniques for patients with comorbidities, these courses meticulously guide clinicians in enhancing disease management. They are built on evidence-based practices that standardize care while focusing on specific clinical outcomes and goals.”

MedBridge’s CHAP-verified disease-specific courses are part of In-Home Essentials, a comprehensive home health software solution that helps home health and hospice agencies elevate quality of care, reduce staff turnover, and engage employees throughout their entire career journey.

“At MedBridge, we strive to be a leader in education and training, and to provide the highest quality content for our providers,” said Andrew Mickus, Chief Content Officer at MedBridge. “Whether your organization is seeking CHAP Disease Program Certification or to support clinical excellence by providing ongoing advanced training, you can be confident that our evidence-based courses help empower staff to deliver exceptional patient care.”
