PIECES (2-day) Program for Fraser Health Long-Term Care and Assisted Living - Day 1

This course is an online course.
The P.I.E.C.E.S.™ (2-day) Education Program is designed for Clinical Leaders e.g. Directors of Care, Resident Care Coordinators, Clinical Nurse Educators, Assisted Living Community Health Nurses and front-line professional staff e.g. RNs/RPNs, LPNs, SW and other allied health professions. The participants are expected to share their knowledge and skills obtained through the P.I.E.C.E.S. Program back at the care home.

The P.I.E.C.E.S.™ framework supports Interdisciplinary TEAMS to detect, assess and understand complex physical and cognitive/mental health needs and associated behavioural changes in the older person.
