CADE for Long-Term Healthcare

Learn.Net has been a partner of the Good Samaritan Society in the development of its interactive distance learning satellite network from its inception in 1998.  The Distance Learning Network now broadcasts long-term care training of over 12 hours a day to its 240 centers across throughout the United States.  Learn.Net, the Good Samaritan Society and Bowden Productions have joined together to bring this high quality, interactive distance learning system to other long-term healthcare organizations.

Learning Situation in Long-Term Healthcare

The Good Samaritan Society was facing serious problems in training its workforce:

• High turnover rates, particularly CNAs
• High cost of training, continuing education
• Lack of qualified instructors
• Difficult to reach all the people that need training
• Lack of good training content
• Expensive to develop training programs
• Difficult for people to take off work for training

It has made tremendous progress in the past few years in addressing these obstacles through the development and implementation of the Distance Learning Network.  It expects even more positive results in the future.
