Chronic Disease Prevention

These modules help you develop interpersonal skills with your clients through content such as promoting positive behavior change or advanced care planning. The modules also help you develop the 'business case' for nursing in primary care with content such as managing panels, assessing and stratifying risk, and exploration of billing appropriate for nurse-led encounters. Each module is fully online and takes 3-4 hours for participants to complete. Progress through a module begins with a short demographic survey, followed by videos and readings, a 10 point content quiz, and an exit survey. Successful completion is earned by an 80% or higher quiz score and completion of an exit survey. Each module is awarded nursing contact hours and documentation of the hours and completion via a digital badge.

Objectives:

1. Explore identification of pre-disease states.
2. Identify the nurses' role in chronic disease prevention.
3. Demonstrate an understanding of the relationship of genetics and genomics to health, prevention, and screening for illness.
