Home care and hospice team members must rely on family, friends, or other lay caregivers to help patients throughout the plan of care. Sometimes it is easy to assume that these key members of the health care team already understand the health care environment and its complexity. It is important to assume at the onset of care that they may not. With this in mind, this foundational course helps team members work with family caregivers to improve knowledge and care. Safety and quality are addressed, as well as care between and after visits.

1. A Review of Key Educational Tenets and the Transferring of Knowledge/Experience to Caregivers

Competency in transferring knowledge and experience has never been more important. Shortened time frames in home care and hospice are examples. For cost, quality, staffing, safety and other reasons, family caregivers need to know enough to feel and be successful between and after visits and care. Adult learning principles and other tips for success will be provided.

2. Pulling it all Together: Visualizing and Operationalizing the Family Caregivers as Active Members of the Health Care Team

This chapter addresses organizational, case management, and other skills needed for success to facilitate caregivers and goal achievement. The underserved family caregiver is shown as an activated and important member of the health care team. A case scenario will be illustrated to show best practices related to education and validation of knowledge and competency.
