Health services will help out with training of professionals
by Jennifer Corser Kansan staff writer
A new management program will help health service professionals far from a university and its resources improve their administrative skills.
The program, coordinated by the KU department of health services administration, the division of continuing education and other Regents schools, will bring education opportunities to students, especially in the rural areas, said Frank Orzukel, the program's manager.
"We want to offer high-quality education and bring it to the people of Kansas in an economic package." Orzuk said.
The program has four parts. The first part is a 24-month series of non-credit one- and two-day seminars for educators who want to upgrade their skills.
The first seminar, "Improving Employee Relations," was April 20 in Salina. The second seminar, scheduled for May 11 in Salina and June 2 in Lenaea, will be "How to Survive and Succeed Under OBRA 1987: Strategies for Coping with the New Federal Regulations" ORRA is the
Omnibus Reconciliation Act, which set standards for long-term nursing care.
The second part of the program will be an in-house training seminar service, offered on a contract basis and other health care organizations.
The third part will be a consulting service that will offer KU's resources to health care organizations with management training needs or problems.
The program will use resources and faculty from the University of Kansas and other Regents schools, Orzulak said.
Raymond Davis, department chairman, said the program was created because the field was changing rapidly. Many health service agencies in the field do not have time to read and study about these changes.
Davis said that KU sent questionnaires to about 1,600 health service professionals in the area about a year ago. These included skills and information they needed.
"We have organized the health management program around the responses of the questionnaire."
Davis said.
Oruzaki said they were in the planning stage of the fourth part of the program, which will offer graduate courses so students can complete master's and service programs. The program is planned to start next summer.
The program will offer courses during weekend sessions, along with a two-week summer session, Orzulak said. Students will do homework between classes and work with the instructors and possibly other students by computer.
Oruzak said the computers, which students would need access to, would allow them to use materials and information at their own convenience.
He said the courses would conform to the standards of KU's regular classes but would not require students to attend or jobs to attend 15 weeks of classes.
which is to deed of that, we'll put it in a location that's not so obtrusive to their schedule." Orzulak said.
Two monthly weekend sessions will be required for each three hours of credit. A student can graduate in three years with 58 hours.
