Clinical Care Options (CCO) recently
announced the creation of a new program to support South African nurses and
doctors manage HIV-infected and HIV/TB-co-infected persons.
CCO will develop an interactive,
digital training and certification program, called InPractice®, in cooperation
with the University of Witwatersrand and the Foundation for Professional
Development, two South African companies involved in HIV/AIDS medical
education. InPractice® can be used to train HIV doctors, nurses treating HIV
patients, and other healthcare professionals in settings with limited
resources, and it provides relevant practical training and certification to
improve patient lives.
The program will be available in
different formats: online, mobile (for smart phones and tablet computers), and
a version for PCs with internet connection. InPractice® provides structured
educational modules certified for South Africa’s continuing education
professional credits with integrated, easy-to-search references that facilitate
decision making at the point of care.
InPractice® also includes access to
health information databases specific to South Africa, as well as providing
practice guidelines and drug reference information. Additional information is
available at inPractice.com or via e-mail at info@clincaloptions.com.
