HCPF Receives Recommendations From Training Advisory Committee

The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing recently received the final report of a committee created by legislation to advise it on the training of Colorado home care workers. Among the members of the committee was Lorin Chevalier, a director of the newly combined Home Care & Hospice Association of Colorado. 

Among the 10 recommendations made, the committee advised that by July 1, HCPF and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, as needed, should "begin to collaborate to align existing and develop prospective Rules requiring agencies to provide state-required minimum training to employees, documenting such training in each employee’s record, and to be responsible for providing oversight for meeting minimum training requirements."
