Purpose

The University of Kansas Medical Center is offering an opportunity for nursing homes to participate in a National Institute on Aging funded research study testing the Changing Talk: Online Training (CHATO). Participants from rural areas are encouraged.

The goal of the training is to increase awareness of the importance of effective communication with older adults and to use evidence-based, person-centered communication during interactions with older adults in nursing homes and other healthcare settings.

The total program is virtual and on-demand. It takes approximately 3 hours to complete, split into 3 modules and the evaluation portion.

The course is designed for staff in independent and assistive living, nursing homes, and healthcare settings in the community that includes:

  • Registered nurses
  • Nursing assistants
  • Nursing home dieticians
  • Direct care professionals
  • Other administrative and support employees
