WEBINAR DETAILS
Homecare employers are responsib le for providing a safe working environment for employees. Unlike other emp loyers, they primarily send personnel into patient homes. The workplace is not only decentralized, but is also subject to many variations – all of whi ch could cause liability. Homecare employees face risks ranging from patien ts’ infectious diseases (a lesson learned from the current pandemic), to an imals, and even firearms. An employee can be harmed by any number of things ; it’s the employer’s job to prevent this.
Prevention involves considering agency policies and standards, infecti on control, and discharge procedures that clearly spell out how to handle p atient discharge when safety is an issue. Employers must also consider othe r aspects of safety and training. Employee training should include proper u se of PPE. Teaching staff when to leave if safety becomes a concern is also imperative. However physical safety is not the only issue. Harassment and discrimination can also take place in a patient’s home and homecare employe rs must act on such reports. This jam-packed session will examine these con cerns and how to respond to patients in a manner that complies with the CoP s and with an employer’s obligations to employees.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This informative se ssion is designed for administrators, human resources staff, managers, clin ical directors, and owners.
