Personnel Qualifications, Job Descriptions, Orientation, In-Service Training, and Evaluation

Sets out how the Agency defines each job, checks that every person meets the qualifications in 42 CFR §484.115 before they work, orients new staff, gives ongoing in-service training (including at least 12 hours a year for home health aides and emergency preparedness training at least every 2 years), observes competency, and evaluates performance. Michigan sets no state training-hour rule for home health agencies; the Agency’s orientation adds Michigan abuse reporting, MIOSHA bloodborne pathogens training and EVV.
