DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed project is designed to fill an extremely important yet unmet need by developing an alternative training mechanism that has the potential for reaching all personnel responsible for risk management and quality improvement in programs that provide services to persons with mental retardation/developmental disabilities (MRDD) and the public agency staff that oversee such programs. Pursuing this objective, the applicant organization, Praxis, Inc., and Eunice Kennedy Shriver Center at the University of Massachusetts Medical School will work together to develop skills and competencies in conducting root cause analysis (RCA), a recognized best practice approach to reducing adverse events. The skill development will be an "anytime, anywhere" training program available to anyone with Internet access. The program, RCA/DD, is intended to meet the essential needs of public and private agencies to assure the health, safety and welfare of a very vulnerable population that is at increased risk of harm and that is being served in over 145,000 residential settings across the nation, a basic assurance all public agencies must meet to receive federal HCBS and ICF/MR funding. Course work will teach contemporary, evidence-based methods and procedures in RCA specifically adapted to the unique nature of MRDD services. The product, RCA/DD will be a fully hosted, Web-based distance learning instructional program in which lessons will build upon 1 another, assisting learners to acquire a foundation of knowledge upon which more complex skill sets can be built. Learners who participate in RCA/DD will apply knowledge acquired through their readings to simulated or real life situations and adverse events that commonly occur in service settings serving the MRDD population. Self-assessments will be built into each module to help them accurately and systematically assess their skills and develop learning plans to improve when needed.

描述(由申请人提供)：拟议的项目旨在通过开发一种替代培训机制来满足一个极其重要但尚未得到满足的需求，该机制有可能接触到所有负责风险管理和提高项目质量的人员，这些人员为智障/发育障碍(MRDD)者和监督此类项目的公共机构工作人员提供服务。为了实现这一目标，申请组织Praxis，Inc.和马萨诸塞大学医学院的尤尼斯·肯尼迪·施莱弗中心将共同努力，开发进行根本原因分析(RCA)的技能和能力，这是一种公认的减少不良事件的最佳实践方法。技能发展将是一个“随时随地”的培训计划，任何人都可以通过互联网访问。该计划名为RCA/DD，旨在满足公共和私营机构的基本需求，以确保处于更高伤害风险中的非常脆弱人口的健康、安全和福利，全国超过145,000个住宅环境正在为他们提供服务，这是所有公共机构必须满足的基本保证，才能获得联邦HCBS和ICF/MR资金。课程工作将教授现代的、以证据为基础的方法和程序，特别适用于MRDD服务的独特性质。该产品RCA/DD将是一个完全托管的、基于网络的远程学习教学计划，其中的课程将建立在另一个课程的基础上，帮助学习者获得可以建立更复杂技能集的知识基础。参加RCA/DD的学习者将把通过他们的阅读获得的知识应用于模拟或真实生活中的情况以及在服务于MRDD人群的服务环境中通常发生的不良事件。将在每个模块中加入自我评估，以帮助他们准确和系统地评估自己的技能，并制定学习计划，以便在需要时改进。
