COMING SOON! Certificate of Elder Care Sensitivity Skills Proficiency (CECSSP) with Interactive AI Exercise

Product Details

The Certificate of Elder Care Sensitivity Skills Proficiency (CECSSP) course provides detailed guidance and practice surrounding the best management of communication with approprate sensitivity for geriatric, elder and senior patient care. As healthcare providers, we're witnessing an unprecedented demographic shift. The elderly population is growing rapidly, with adults over 65 representing the fastest-growing age group globally. This shift brings unique challenges and opportunities in healthcare delivery. Understanding who our elderly patients are goes beyond just their age, it encompasses their diverse backgrounds, experiences, and varied health needs. Each elderly patient brings decades of life experience, established relationships, cultural traditions, and personal preferences that significantly impact their healthcare journey. Recognizing this diversity is the first step in providing truly patient-centered care for our aging population.

The interactive exercise introduces the learner to a virtual AI senior patient and provides guidance regarding best practices in sensitivity and care communication.

Demonstrate understanding of the unique physical, cognitive, and emotional needs of elderly patients
Apply age-appropriate communication techniques when interacting with geriatric patients
