Caregivers Can Now Take Approved Online Class Instead of Record Keeping B
Caregivers are now allowed to take the free online course “Six Rights of Safe Medication Administration for ODHS APD Adult Foster Home Staff” through Oregon Care Partners instead of Record Keeping B.
This makes it easier for caregivers to meet their role requirements without waiting for the in-person class.
In Person Record Keeping B Training:
Operators and resident managers are still required to take the in-person Record Keeping B class.
