Practice Scenarios for Social Determinants of Health
The Healthy People 2030 campaign categorizes social determinants of health (SDOH) into five domains and each one has an impact on health outcomes and informs best practices in the delivery of healthcare (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.). This course provides practice scenarios for use of a rapid assessment tool for screening patients for social determinants that impact their health.
Describe social determinants of health, including the five domains within each of them.
Discuss the use of rapid assessment tools for understanding patients’ barriers and risks to optimal health associated with social/environmental conditions where people live, work, and play.
Economic Stability: Social Determinants of Health
Economic stability is defined as a domain of social determinants of health in the Healthy People 2030 campaign.

Each component of economic stability, including poverty, employment, food security, and housing stability, is linked to individual health outcomes.
Describe the four components of economic stability.
Explain how economic stability affects health and health outcomes.
Identify strategies for helping patients overcome barriers to economic stability and how they positively impact health outcomes.
Essentials of HIPAA
This course, which was designed to comply with HIPAA law, will help you protect the privacy of the people you provide care for. Allowing unauthorized individuals to see a person’s personal health information can have severe consequences for you and your organization, even if it happens by accident.

Explain why HIPAA exists.
Identify at least three things in the medical record that can be used to identify an individual.
Describe at least three best practices to prevent HIPAA violations.
Understanding Workplace Violence
As a healthcare worker, you are in regular contact with residents, visitors, and coworkers. When harassment or bullying occurs in the workplace, the impact on staff and visitors creates a troubled workplace. Facility operations are also disrupted with long-reaching effects. Workplace violence refers clearly to threats or actual use of physical force against a person in the workplace. In recent years, more healthcare workers have assumed a greater risk of exposure to workplace violence. In this course, you will learn how to spot, prevent, and respond to workplace violence.
Define workplace violence.
Identify steps to survive a hostile encounter.
Determine when and how to report workplace violence.
Natural Disasters in the Workplace: Flooding and Landslides
Floods and landslides can occur in many locations throughout the U.S. This course provides basic information about these hazards and the destruction they can cause. This course emphasizes the importance of being informed about flooding and landslide risks and hazards around you and various protective actions you could consider taking.
The goal of this course is to provide employees with a foundation for staying safe during flooding and landslides.
Identify environments conducive to flooding and landslide hazards.
Select protective actions to minimize risk and maximize safety.
Ethics and Corporate Compliance
Establishing an effective corporate compliance program helps healthcare organizations prevent, detect, and correct unlawful and unethical behavior. This course discusses the laws and behaviors related to ethics. It also discusses your responsibilities in preventing and identifying unlawful and unethical behavior. The goal of this course is to familiarize general staff in healthcare settings with the most common types of fraudulent and improper conduct.
Identify common high-risk areas for fraudulent conduct.
Recall at least three types of fraudulent or other improper conduct.
New Employee Onboarding and Culture Development
Failing to properly onboard employees results in poor performance and unnecessarily high turnover. In this course, we’ll cover best practices and lay out a plan for the first 6 months of a new employee’s orientation and performance expectations.

HIPAA: Basics
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, commonly called HIPAA, protects the confidentiality and security of healthcare information. HIPAA creates and protects individual privacy rights for protected health information and governs the use and disclosure of that information.

Quality Data Presentation
Interpreting and using data are essential components of evidence-based nursing practice, which has been linked to improved patient outcomes and quality of care. However, many nurses do not use evidence-based practice (EBP) or participate in nursing research efforts.
Understanding data collection and presentation methods is an important first step to greater nurse participation in EBP and quality improvement (QI) initiatives.
Identify data collection and presentation methods that are best for understanding quality of care performance and making timely and actionable decisions.
Recognize the relationship between nursing research, data presentation, and evidence-based practice.
Achieving Excellence with High-Performing Teams
eams with talented people and a skilled leader are often unable to maintain optimum results over a long period of time.

This course provides healthcare staff with an overview of how to motivate and enhance a team.
