This is to inform you about a new Acute Health Systems (AHS) resource created to provide information about the Alabama Trauma System and Alabama Stroke System. As part of our new series "Connecting the Dots" two videos have been developed and are available to registered users in the Alabama Department of Public Health Learning Content Management System (LCMS). See the instructions below to access the training.
Unless otherwise noted, no continuing education (CE) for individual licensure is provided. However, watching the videos can help meet system education requirements. The Stroke Rules effective March 17, 2022 are an example of how these videos can be used to supplement a hospital's education program to meet an AHS program education requirement. The Stroke Rules are posted at https://www.alabamapublichealth.gov/strokesystem/assets/stroke.rules.2022searchable.pdf. The idea behind developing this series is to support consistent training about AHS in a venue that is easily accessible and user friendly. Each viewer's transcript is updated after they complete the video and electronically submit the LCMS Acknowledgement of Completion for the course. The link to the Acknowledgement of Completion can be found in the Post-Training section beneath the video on the course landing page.
The two videos available at this time are the AHS Application Process and a Stroke System Overview.
Additional planned videos topics include: Alabama Trauma Communication Center, Alabama Trauma System, and Alabama Trauma Registry.
