It explains how agencies must submit required information to obtain approval for hybrid instruction while keeping existing criteria for in-person training. It outlines agency demographics, operator and administrator attestations, and a hybrid training schedule that includes module content plus written and skills evaluations, breaks, testing, supervised practical training, and certificate distribution, along with required policies and procedures on admissions, verification, curriculum, technology, IT support, confidentiality, testing, skills, monitoring, and evaluation.","September 29 , 2020  \nDAL: DHCBS 20-09  \nSubject: Personal Care Aide and Home Health Aide Training Program Hybrid Training Approval Process for Department of Health Approved Training Programs  \nDear Administrator:  \nThis guidance is intended for Personal Care Aide Training Programs (PCATPs) and Home Health Aide Training Programs (HHATPs) which have approval to provide training through the Department of Health (“the Department”) and whose training programs have received at least one re-approval after a period of three years.  \nIn response to the COVID-19 crisis, many training entities canceled, suspended or postponed scheduled or in-progress training classes. This guidance serves to assist agencies in developing a hybrid model of online training for Personal Care Aides (PCAs) and Home Health Aides (HHAs) .  \nThe requirements set forth the information needed to approve a hybrid model of online training and do not replace any current criteria for training; all other criteria for in-person training remains in place. To receive approval to conduct a hybrid model of online training, agencies must submit the information outlined in this document. Failure to submit all information upon initial submission may result in a delay in processing your request or possible denial.  \nThe following agency information is required with your request for approval.  \nAgency Demographics Form: One Agency Demographics Form is required for each license number (Attachment 1):  \n1. Agency Name;  \n2. Agency Address;  \n3. Agency License Number;  \n4. Training Program Approval Type;  \n5. Address where testing, skills, and Supervised Practical Training (SPT) will be completed;  \n6. Language(s)– Please note that prior Foreign Language approval is required;  \n7. Name of Nurse Instructors Responsible for Hybrid Training;  \nAttestations: The following are Operator/Administrator attestations required for Hybrid Training approval. Please note, if your agency is requesting Hybrid Training approval for both PCA training and HHA training, both attestations are required:  \n1. PCATP Attestation (PCATPs Only, Attachment 2);  \n2. HHATP Attestation (HHATPs Only, Attachment 3);  \nHybrid Training Program Schedule (Attachment 4): This should include the content of the training program modules/units (didactic portion of training) and administration of written and (required and optional) skills performance evaluation. Please indicate if the session being held is online or in the skills laboratory.  \nAdditional topics may be included in the training, but they must be in addition to the minimum hourly requirement and may not substitute for required topics. The time allocated for each training topic, breaks and meals, tests, supervised practical training (SPT), and skills performance evaluations must be identified on the schedule. The day the certificates of completion are distributed to the trainees must be included.  \nFor HHATPs: A schedule is required for each training class type being offered through a hybrid approach: Full Training, Personal Care Aid Upgrading, and Certified Nurse Aide Transitioning.  \nPolicies and Procedures  \nPolicies and Procedures are required and must describe how the hybrid program will be implemented. These should include information specific to the Hybrid Training Program. The “Guidance for Developing Policies and Procedures for a Licensed Home Care Services Agency,” may be helpful and is located on the DOH website at:  \n[http://www.health.ny.gov/faci](http://www.health.ny.gov/faci)lities/home care/guidance docs for lhcs applicants. htm  \nPolicies and Procedures should address the following:  \n1. Admission/Enrollment Criteria: how students will be selected for Hybrid Training, enrollment details, how required documentation will be obtained.  \n2. Attendance/Trainee Verification: how attendance will be taken, and the documentation maintained; how trainees’ identity will be verified for attendance, and attendance requirements for Hybrid Training.  \n3.
