Abstract
Scheduling traditional continuing education and required classes for homecare staff can be challenging, resulting in low attendance and compliance rates. Innovative, flexible, and accessible educational opportunities are needed to meet clinicians' educational needs. This article describes the affect of implementing online learning at one homecare agency. Implementation of online learning has resulted in an improvement in staff satisfaction, increase in compliance, and cost savings.
