The Delivery of Trauma-Informed Care Through Understanding, Recognizing, and Responding to Trauma - 1 Contact Hour

Course overview

Trauma-informed care practices are a regulatory requirement for long-term care facilities and have become a recent area of increased focus due to updated guidance in Phase 3 of the Requirements of Participation (RoP) and the State Operations Manual (SOM). Compliance with this care is key to nursing facility survey success and quality care. This course will review the updated regulatory guidance related to trauma-informed care, define trauma and its long-term effects on health and overall well-being, identify practical ways to implement trauma-informed care in service delivery, and discuss best practice patterns to ensure the provision of trauma-informed care to every resident in your facility.
